Overcoming the problems in determination of solar cell series resistance and diode factor

Shashwat Sharma, K B Samuel, Nandakishor Srinivasamurthy, B. L. Agrawal

Abstract

A theory has been developed to determine solar cell design parameters in the conventional solar cell equation using measured cell I sc , I mp , V mp and V oc . The theory overcomes the problem of series resistance becoming negative. It is shown that the diode factor a indeed depends upon cell temperature. The theoretical predictions are in good agreement with experimental observations.
