This non-ideal behaviour can be electrically modelled including a second diode, in reverse bias, together with an extra shunt resistance (R-P2) in the traditional solar cell equivalent circuit. In this paper, we solve without approximations the transcendental equation system derived from this modified circuit. We have obtained an analytical expression for I-V curves decoupling the voltage drop in each diode using Lambert W function. This expression has been fitted to experimental data in order to obtain circuital parameters. Simulations varying saturation current of reverse diode (I-02) and R-P2 have been performed in order to study the dependence of S-shape with these parameters.engAtribución-NoComercial-SinDerivadas 3.0 Españahttp://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/3.0/es/Organic solar cells; Equivalent circuit; S-shape; W-Lambertinfo:eu-repo/semantics/article10.1016/j.solener.2012.07.010info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess3307 Tecnología Electrónica3306.02 Aplicaciones Eléctricas
