Models to represent the behaviour of photovoltaic (PV) solar cells in reverse bias are reviewed, concluding with the proposal of a new model. This model comes from the study of avalanche mechanisms in PV solar cells, and counts on physically meaningful parameters.
Maximum module surface temperatures were directly related to each value of the induced reverse current and in to the amount of current leakage respectively. Microscopic changes as a result of hot spots defects and overheating of the solar module, linked to reverse current effects, were also documented and discussed.
It can also be applied to the different types of reverse characteristics found in PV solar cells: those dominated by avalanche mechanisms, and also those in which avalanche is not perceived because they are dominated by shunt resistance or because breakdown takes place out of a safe measurement range.
The The reverse I-V characteristic of a photovoltaic module subjected to a stressing current of 100 mA, presented on a linear scale. The capacitance voltage characteristic is in accordance with the previous explanation.
REVERSE SATURATION CURRENT EQUATION MODEL 7. Reverse Current Equation I RS = I SC / [e (q V OC /K B CT OPT N ) -1] For decades, electricity is a key driver of socio-economy development. Nowadays, in the context of competition there is a direct relationship between electricity generation and sustainable development of the country.
It can be adapted to PV cells in which reverse characteristic is dominated by avalanche mechanisms, and also to those dominated by shunt resistance or with breakdown voltages far from a safe measurement range. A procedure to calculate model parameters based in piece-wise fitting is also proposed.

An equivalent circuit model of an ideal solar cell''s p–n junction uses an ideal current source (whose photogenerated current increases with light intensity) in parallel with a diode (whose current represents recombination losses). To account for resistive losses, a shunt resistance and a series resistance are added as lumped elements. The resulting output current equals the photogenerated curr…
