Does Simulink Student Version come fully equipped or do I have to buy more Simulink models afterwards?

Hi,

I'm trying to find PV Array, and Solar Cell models in my 2016 Simulink Student Version, but the library search returns nothing. So is the Student Simulink somehow limited?

PV array: if you're referring to this block it is part of the Simscape Power Systems add-on product.

Solar cell: if you're referring to this block it is part of the Simscape Electronics add-on product.

Both those products are available for use with student software (see the "Physical Modeling and Simulation" section of the add-ons list) but I don't think either are part of the MATLAB and Simulink Student Suite.

If those blocks are not what you were referring to when you wrote "PV Array, and Solar Cell models" please clarify which models/blocks you meant (a link to a description would be ideal.)
