How to write the algorithm to obtain the I-V and P-V characteristics of the solar panels?

Hello everyone,
I have the following equations:
function F = solar1(x)
q = 1.60217662e-19;
k = 1.38064852e-23;
T = 298.15; % Temperature in degrees 25. This one is in Kelvin.
Ns = 72;
Np = 1;
Voc = 44.6;
Vm = 35.4;
Isc = 5.43;
Im = 4.95;
n = 1.086;
Iph = x(1);
Io = x(2);
Vt = x(3);
Rs = x(4);
Rp = x(5);
F(1) = Np*Iph - Np*Io*(exp(Voc/Ns*Vt)-1) - ((Np*Voc)/(Ns*Rp));
F(2) = Np*Iph - Np*Io*(exp(Isc*Rs/Np*Vt)-1) - ((Isc*Rs)/Rp) - Isc;
F(3) = Np*Iph - Np*Io*exp((((Np*Vm)+(Ns*Im*Rs))/(Ns*Np*Vt)) -1) - Np*(((Np*Vm)+(Ns*Im*Rs))/(Ns*Np*Rp))- Im;
F(4) = (((Np/Ns*Vt)*Io*(exp((Vm + ((Im*Ns*Rs)/Np))/Ns*Vt)) + (1/(Ns*Rp)/Np))/(1 + (Rs*Vt)*Io*(exp((Vm + ((Im*Ns*Rs)/Np))/Ns*Vt)) + (Rs/Rp))) - (Im/Vm);
F(5) = (((-Np/Ns*Vt)*Io*exp((Isc*Ns*Rs)/(Np*Ns*Vt)) - (Np/Ns*Rp)) / (1+(Rs/Vt)*Io*exp((Isc*Ns*Rs)/(Np*Ns*Vt)) + (Rs/Rp))) + 1/Rp;
F(6) = (((-Np/Ns*Vt)*Io*(exp(Voc/Ns*Vt)) - (1/Ns*Rp/Np)) / (1 + (Rs/Vt)*Io*(exp(Voc/Ns*Vt)) + (Rs/Rp))) + 1/Rs; F(7) = Vt - n*k*T/q;
end
I am using 'levenberq-marquardt' to solve the system above which i am able to calculate the five unknown parameters (x(1),x(2)...x(5)).
Then what i need to do is to write an algorithm to be able to plot the graphs for I-V and P-V characteristics anyone can give me a hint on how to do that?
Thanks in advance.

This can be almost an impossible question for people to answer, because only you know what this aggregation of completely undocumented code does, what the variables mean, etc.

Hello John,
I need 5 equations to solve the system to find out the 5 unknown parameters Iph,Io,Vt,Rs and Rp. I solve this one with 'levenberq-marquerdt'.
Now i want to apply this to calculate the I-V and P-V characteristics of the solar panel.
