Abstract:
This paper outlines a method which can be used to nondestructively characterise individual Photovoltaic (PV) cell
Current-Voltage (IV) data for cells encapsulated within a
module.
In this study a Genetic Algorithm (GA) for the Parameter
Optimisation (PA) is used to determine the electrical parameters
of individual PV cells within a module using voltage dependent
Electroluminescence (EL) data in conjunction with dark (current
voltage) IV data of the module. This is the first step in studying
the deconvolution of the IV curve of a module.
