Hello, what is the area of the solar panel used in the simulink or the size it has? I need to find out its value in square meters.

This looks like a homework question to me. You can find guidelines for posting homework on this forum here. If you have trouble with Matlab basics you may consider doing the Onramp tutorial (which is provided for free by Mathworks). If your main issue is with understanding the underlying concept, you may consider re-reading the material you teacher provided and ask them for further clarification.

Hi @ali burak
If you take a look at the block parameters of the PV Array in the Simulink model, you will find information about the specific PV module being used. In the example provided, the module is Sunpower's SPR-415E-WHT-D. To find more details about the module, I recommend visiting the Solar Hub website and searching their Product Catalog. You should be able to find the module's area listed under the 'Mechanical' information.
