Solar Module Series Resistance

What causes series resistance in a solar cell?

Series resistance in a solar cell has three causes: firstly, the movement of current through the emitter and base of the solar cell; secondly, the contact resistance between the metal contact and the silicon; and finally the resistance of the top and rear metal contacts.

How to analyze series resistance of solar PV modules?

The methods under consideration are: single slope method, one curve illumination method and mesh analysis. The interpretation of series resistance is done for 18 different solar PV modules containing CdTe, CIGS, mono-crystalline and multi-crystalline silicon modules. The reliability of this method under outdoor operating conditions is also studied.

Does series resistance affect a solar cell at open-circuit voltage?

Series resistance does not affect the solar cell at open-circuit voltage since the overall current flow through the solar cell, and therefore through the series resistance is zero. However, near the open-circuit voltage, the IV curve is strongly affected by the series resistance.

How do you measure the series resistance of a solar cell?

The method for measuring the series resistance of a solar cell was first proposed by wolf and Rauschenbusch . This involves measuring the characteristic of a cell at two different illuminations.

How does series resistance affect the IV curve of a solar cell?

However, near the open-circuit voltage, the IV curve is strongly affected by the series resistance. A straight-forward method of estimating the series resistance from a solar cell is to find the slope of the IV curve at the open-circuit voltage point.

Can a series resistance measurement be used to determine the condition of PV modules?

The series resistance is the most important single-diode model parameter in assessing the condition of PV modules; this paper proposes a novel method for its determination by using measurements acquired near the MPP only. The proposed method can be used with any series resistance identification procedure based on current–voltage curve measurements.
