ABSTRACT: Photovoltaic solar
energy can be obtained by using several types of technologies, including silicon
solar cells. The characterization of its solar cells makes it possible to know them
better. This article presents, on the one hand, the work that has been carried out
on these cells. On the other hand, a theoretical study of the cell under illumination
using Lambert’s W function.
On the basis of the electrical parameters provided by the manufacturer, the parameters
such as the series and shunt resistances and the electrical quantities such as the
photocurrent and the photovoltage, are determined and studied according to the ideality
factor of the diode. From the results obtained the shunt resistance increases when the ideality
factor increases, the series
resistance decreases very weakly.
