“…The explicit approximation methods usually use elementary functions, such as Taylor's series expansion (Lun et al, 2013a;Fjeldly et al, 1991), Padé approximants (Lun et al, 2013b), to obtain an explicit analytical expression of I-V equation. In Lun et al (2013a), Taylor's series expansion, a fixed cubic polynomial, is used to express the exponential function of I-V characteristic for any type of solar cells. When the index value of the exponential function becomes large, the explicit modeling method (MTM) in Lun et al (2013a) cannot provide good approximation accuracy, especially for the PV modules with large short circuit current.…”
