Solar cells are aggregated in series and parallel combinations into an array to produce desired voltage and power levels. The solar cells are nonidentical in their parameters; therefore the array power output is lower than the power output of the individual cells operating separately. The quality of

Solar cells are produced in batches and undergo a screening process, usually based on the maximum power point. The manufacturer or consumer aggregates the solar cells randomly to form an array. By screening the solar cells and aggregating in a ranking order we may obtain improved array performance.
A simple formulation has been derived for the temperature dependence of cell parameters for any solar cell material. Detailed calculations have been performed for high-quality monocrystanine GaAs, Si and Ge cells. Preliminary experimental data for GaAs and Si cells are close to the calculated values
