Renewable Energy, 1999, vol. 17, issue 2, 235-241

Abstract: An approximation was applied to a solar cell equation to eliminate reverse saturation current. I–U curves obtained from the approximated equation were fitted to experimentally measured data by using the iteration technique. All instrumentation errors were taken into account in the fitting procedure. The Filling Factor (FF) and the series resistance (Rs) appeared to be important for fitting accuracy. The fitting procedure was repeated for different illuminations and solar cell temperatures.
