[en] Abstract—In this paper, Maple software is used to study a
solar cell modelled by an electronic circuit containing five physical
parameters. The physical parameters are: the series resistance,
the shunt resistance, the diode reverse saturation current, the
diode ideality factor and the photocurrent. First, the
characteristic equation is solved in order to find the output current
as a function of the output voltage of the solar cell. Second, the
expressions of the short circuit current, the open circuit voltage,
the dynamical resistance of the solar cell and different kinds of
powers involved: the output power, the power dissipated by Joule
Effect in the internal components of the solar cell and the solar
cell total power are determined analytically. Finally, the effects of
the different physical parameters on the characteristic and on the
delivered power of the solar cell are studied and analyzed.
