“…The series resistance have been extracted using the one sun and dark I(V) curves as suggested by Dicker. [16,17] We can see that GaP-based solar cells present an efficiency of 7.6, 8.4 and 9% for GaP thicknesses of 20, 10 and 5 nm, respectively. The efficiency is lower than the efficiency of the classical a-Si:H/c-Si solar cell (13.2%).…”

“…One of the two best methods of determining R s as judged in Ref [33], is to measure two or more IV curves with different illumination levels. Points are marked on each curve at a fixed current, ∆I, up from I sc .…”

“…A number of methods have been discussed in the past [26,27]. A recent review [33] compares various experimental methods with each other, but does not determine their accuracy theoretically. Another review [34] finds that the various experimental determinations of resistance do not agree with each other and they conclude that modeling is needed to clarify the situation.…”

The transparent top contact layer of a solar cell is a distributed resistance that cannot be easily represented mathematically. We have used a finite element model to calculate the current distribution in this transparent layer. The calculation gives the voltage drop along the layer as well as the resulting reduction in the current generated in the active layer of the solar cell. IV curves generated by the model are used to investigate various methods of experimentally determining series resistance. It is found that the suns-V oc method is the most accurate. A fit of the finite element model to experimental IV data from an organic solar cell is used as an example of obtaining solar cell model parameters.

“…Metrology of solar cells allows to obtain the basic data for the design and operation of solar power plants [3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11]. The main difficulty in this process is caused by the nonlinearity of the current characteristics of solar elements (SE), spectral sensitivity of which depends on the full (total) irradiance solar cells.…”

Abstract:A new method for calculation the spectral sensitivity of solar cells based on data obtained by measurement of differential sensitivity. As follows from the conducted analysis, measurements of cells can be carried out only at a constant spectral composition of background radiation. In particular with a single powerful lamp is repositionable relative to the cell. In the practical application of the method is expected to increase the accuracy of determining the spectral sensitivity, especially in the region of large wavelengths, where there is the maximum nonlinearity of the dependence of a current on irradiance.
