Abstract

A model for investigating the dynamic behaviour of solar cells, which allows the simulation of the measurements process with flash solar simulators, is presented in this paper. This model is then applied to the simulation of measurement processes currently employed by common solar simulator types. It is shown that the cell capacitance, the series resistance and cell area can all influence the measurements, giving rise to transient errors, especially in short flash solar simulators. It is also shown that point distribution as well as scan time also have significant importance. © 2006 IEEE.
