		<description><![CDATA[Abstract A new method is presented that is capable of resolving the parameters in a double-exponential model with which the electrical characteristics of a crystalline-silicon solar cell are analysed. This method gives not only opencircuit voltage, short-circuit current, fill factor and efficiency, but also diode saturation currents, light-generated current, series resistance and shunt resistance, all [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Abstract The correlation of environmental parameters, module parameters and time of operation into one equation seems to he important to study the performance characteristics of the solar cell. Two programmes have been developed to formulate the suggested equation. The first is based on the general equation of the unsteady state temperature used to evaluate the [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Abstract For the measurement of the current-voltage characteristic of a photovoltaic (PV) cell or module, an experimental &#8220;self testing&#8221; method is proposed which uses as &#8220;load&#8221; one or more PV cells (modules), appropriately connected to the test cell and subjected to a variable irradiance. Depending on the irradiance values towards the test cell (module), the [...]]]></description>

The following cases are treated separately: infinite shunt resistance and zero series resistance; finite shunt resistance or finite series resistance; finite shunt resistance and finite series resistance. The method is used to measure the junction [...]]]></description>

The curve tracer employs a capacitive load to provide automatic sweeping of the array voltage. The unit is capable of measuring arrays of up to 10 kW in power but is smaller and lighter than a conventional 2.5 kW dissipative load. The current versus [...]]]></description>
