  • Abstract
    A novel one-diode model is proposed for illuminated solar cells, which contains an additional variable resistance describing minority carrier diffusion from the bulk to the p-n junction. This model naturally describes the differences between photo- and electroluminescence imaging, as well as a well-known departure from the superposition principle.
