Critical analysis of the limitations and validity of the assumptions with the analytical methods commonly used to determine the photovoltaic cell parameters

Obtention of solar cell parameters, through convergence of iterative cycles. Part 1: Theoretical analysis and cycles proposal

“…Finally, other methods are based in Monte Carlo simulations, artificial neuronal networks, non-linear least-squares method, exponential model, or ab initio calculations [17] , [18] , [19] , [20] , [21] , [22] , [23] , [24] , [25] , [26] . A review of the limitations and assumption validity of these main techniques can be found in [27] . This explains the intention of this series of articles.…”

Obtention of solar cell parameters, through convergence of iterative cycles. Part 2: Application to experimental current-voltage measurements

“…Briefly, a myriad of methods can be found in the literature, based in Monte Carlo simulations, artificial neuronal networks, non-linear least-squares method, exponential model, or ab initio calculations [6] , [7] , [8] , [9] , [10] , [11] , [12] , [13] , [14] , [15] . It is worth mentioning here the study by Khan et al, where they reviewed the limitations of these main techniques [16] .…”
