Abstract

Short Retraction Notice

The article has been retracted due to the investigation of complaints received against it. The substantial portions of the text came from Luis Casta?er and Santigo Silvestre, " Modelling photovoltaic systems using PSpice".The scientific community takes a very strong view on this matter and we treat all unethical behavior such as plagiarism seriously. This paper published in Vol.3 No.2 133-138, 2012, has been removed from this site.
