                Abstract: 
                The present work documents the study on the usage of Neural Networks to compute the parameters used in solar panel modelling. The approach followed starts from a dataset obtained by a process of model identification via numerical solution of nonlinear equations. After a preliminary analysis pointing out the intrinsic difficulty in the classic identification of the parameters via NN, by taking advantage of closed form relations, a hybrid neural system, composed by neural network based identifiers and explicit equations, was implemented. The generalization capabilities of the neural identifier were investigated, showing the effectiveness of this approach.
