PV panel parameter relationships

If i have a data sheet for a pv panel that was given at a certain irradiance and the modeling tool im using takes in the parameters of the model at a different irradiance who can i scale them to match?
Generally, the datasheets are given at 1000W/m^2 for some reason, the one i have to deal with right now is given at 1350.

My modeling tool, simulink requires that the data be input into the model at 1000W/m^2

I have tried to scale the parameters linearly but its a non linear relationship and i cant get my pv model to behave like the data sheet.

Any ideas?
Do some parameters like VOC and ISC scale linearly but not others like VMP and IMP?

Is there a way to adapt a 1350 data sheet to a 1000?
Im trying to find a way to make a relationship between the two
I don't know but if you want 'real' values you need to setup and test at earth STC. As you say, its a non linear relationship per panel type.
