Abstract

The electrical parameters, the ideality diode factor and the parasitic resistances of a photovoltaic module can be estimated from its current–voltage (I–V) curve. However, there are only very few studies focused on thin-film devices, that could have a thermal behavior different from crystalline silicon technologies. This study analyzes the variation of these parameters from a set of current–voltage curves of several commercial modules from different technologies: single-crystalline silicon (sc-Si), multi-crystalline silicon (mc-Si), amorphous silicon (a-Si), tandem of micro-crystalline silicon and amorphous silicon (a-Si/μc-Si), tandem of cadmium selenide and cadmium telluride (CdS/CdTe), and copper indium selenide (CIS).
