  • Abstract
    A new method for determining the series resistance of a solar cell from illuminated I-V measurements is presented. The method, based on the computation of the area A , under the I-V curve, evaluates Rsusing the equation R_{s} = 2[V_{oc}/I_{sc} - A/_sc^2 - (mkT/q) (1/I_{sc})] This technique takes advantage of the special feature of integration as a procedure to smooth data errors. The Rsobtained represents the resistive effects globally.
