Renewable energy such as solar energy became an important alternative sustainable energy source because it is inexhaustibly compared with fossil sources. Therefore, Al-Furat Al-Awsat Technical University (ATU) is interested in relying entirely on renewable energy. There is an idea to duplicate the photovoltaic (PV) system of the Australian University of Queensland (UQ) and install it in ATU formations. Thus, this work aims to study the effectiveness of installing the PV system of UQ by modelling, simulation, and verification of a MATLAB/Simulink program that simulates the performance of the actual installed PV system. The main goal of the MATLAB/Simulink program is to conduct a feasibility study by studying the performance of the PV system according to the Iraqi climatic conditions to avoid material losses resulting from the direct installation of the system. The suggested model has been driven based on the principle mathematical equations that describe the behaviour of the PV system. Accordingly, environmental conditions such as sunlight irradiance and ambient temperature as well as the hardware system information are set as the essential inputs to the model. Whilst, the electrical power and the accumulative energy are chosen as the main output. The output of the proposed model was compared with the actual set of data conveyed from the University of Queensland, Australia. The results proved the effectiveness of the suggested model by presenting an acceptable match between the simulated output and the real data. Consequently, the authors recommend applying the proposed model for the entire ATU formations based on their respective climatic conditions, individually
