The characteristic resistance of a solar cell is the cell's output resistance at its maximum power point. If the resistance of the load is equal to the characteristic resistance of the solar cell, then the maximum power is transferred to the load, and the solar cell operates at its maximum power point.
For example, commercial silicon solar cells are very high current and low voltage devices. A 156 mm (6 inch) square solar cell has a current of 9 or 10 amps and a maximum power point voltage of 0.6 volts giving a characteristic resistance, R CH, of 0.067 Ω. A 72 cell module from the same cells has R CH = 4 to 5 ohm.
The effect of a shunt resistance is particularly severe at low light levels, since there will be less light-generated current. The loss of this current to the shunt therefore has a larger impact. In addition, at lower voltages where the effective resistance of the solar cell is high, the impact of a resistance in parallel is large.
Series and shunt resistances in solar cells are parasitic parameters, which affect the illuminated current–voltage (I–V) characteristics and efficiency of cells. Very high values of series resistance ( Rs) and very low values of shunt resistance ( Rsh) reduce short-circuit current density ( Jsc) and open-circuit voltage ( Voc ), respectively.
Very high values of series resistance ( Rs) and very low values of shunt resistance ( Rsh) reduce short-circuit current density ( Jsc) and open-circuit voltage ( Voc ), respectively. In this study, the analysis of Rs and Rsh for silicon solar cells using single and double exponential models are described.
An estimate for the value of the shunt resistance of a solar cell can be determined from the slope of the IV curve near the short-circuit current point. The impact of the shunt resistance on the fill factor can be calculated in a manner similar to that used to find the impact of series resistance on fill factor.
