It is well known that a moderate sheet resistance of the emitter layer of a solar cell can be modelled as a lumped series resistance. It has no influence on the open-circuit voltage and little influence on the short-circuit current. The lumped series resistance model enables the fill factor loss to

A method of calculating the distributed (sheet) component of resistance Rsh and lumped (contact) component of the resistance Rc in rectangular solar cells with busbar contacts is proposed. The I-V curve of the device is taken at a given light intensity. The I-V characteristic of the p-n junction is
A new method is presented to evaluate the series resistance of a solar cell. The method not only takes into account the effects of light and temperature on the series resistance, but also takes the diode junction ideality factor as an output current dependent parameter such that the values of the re
