Abstract

A simple analytical approach has been developed to determine the series resistance, Rs, of a solar cell. The method adopted here depends only on the knowledge of the open-circuit voltage, Voc, and the current and voltage at the maximum power point, Isc and Vmp respectively. This approach, based on a knowledge of these operating output parameters of the cell, provides a theoretical framework for an existing computer simulated approach which has been widely used in industries.
