An Improvement Method for Extracting Five Parameters of a Solar Cell Based on Lambert W-Function with the Current-Voltage Data

Abstract:

This article proposes a new method for the extraction of five parameters of a solar cell using Lambert W-function with the current-voltage data. Here we select three points: the short circuit point, the open circuit point, and the maximum power point. On the basis of these we construct five equations to establish a nonlinear formula, in which the series resistance can directly be obtained. The other four parameters are calculated by series resistance. This method is confirmed by two different solar cell data in Matlab software.
