A new method for evaluating illuminated solar cell parameters

Cell modelling and model parameters estimation techniques for photovoltaic simulator application: A review

“…The accuracy of the extracted parameters depends on the type of algorithm, the objective function and the initial conditions [66][67][68][69][70][71]. It is recognised that, inappropriate choice of initial parameters values may lead to non-convergence.…”

Simple, fast and accurate two-diode model for photovoltaic modules

“…Although the model is still relatively simple, it exhibits serious deficiencies when subjected to high temperature variations because it does not account for the open circuit voltage coefficient, K V [5]. An extension of the single diode model which includes an additional shunt resistance, R p is suggested by numerous authors [9][10][11][12]. Including R p , the number of parameters is increased to five.…”

Investigation of the Performance of CIS Photovoltaic Modules under Different Environmental Conditions

“…The shunt resistance, R sh , represents a parallel high conductivity path across the p-n junction or the cell edges and decreases the efficiency of the cells by increasing the leakage current that lowers the maximum output power (P m ), the open voltage, V oc and the fill factor, FF. Several methods are available in the literature for extracting the series and shunt resistances of a solar cell [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12] as well as related device parameters. Some of the methods involve measurement of illuminated I-V characteristics, some use dark conditions or utilize dark and illumination measurements.…”
