ABSTRACT:
This study presents
a method based on the experimental measurement of the short-circuit current (Icc) and the open circuit voltage
(Vco) of the solar cell. It
permits the determination of recombination parameters such as: diffusion length
(L), back surface recombination velocity
(Sb), intrinsic junction recombination
velocity (Sjo), and macroscopic parameters
in particular, the shunt and series resistances of a bifacial solar cell for various
illumination levels (n). Illumination
level effects on macroscopic parameters are highlighted.
