The two steps in photovoltaic energy conversion in solar cells are described using the ideal solar cell, the Shockley solar cell equation, and the Boltzmann constant.
The model will be used to derive the so-called solar cell equation, which is a widely used relation between the electric current density I leaving the solar cell and the voltage V across the converter. For this purpose, we use the relation for generated power P = I ⋅ V and Eq. (127) and we obtain: By using Eqs. (128), (129) we derive:

The equivalent circuit of a solar cell consists of an ideal current generator in parallel with a diode in reverse bias, both of which are connected to a load. These models are invaluable for understanding fundamental device physics, explaining specific phenomena, and aiding in the design of more efficient devices.
The photovoltaic (PV) cell converts solar energy into electrical energy (direct current). It is often useful to take a cell operating at a certain solar irradiance and temperature and calculate its electrical output characteristics (i.e. voltage-current (V-I) curve).
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.
