A contribution to the evaluation of the illuminated solar cells parameters (the series resistance Rs, the ideality factor n, the saturation current Is, the photocurrent Iph, and the shunt conductance Gsh) is dealt with in this paper. The suggested method uses the illuminated current–voltage (I –V) characteristics and the voltage dependent differential slope curve δ of solar cells. The procedure is verified using simulated and experimental I-V curves of different solar cells and modules. The extracted values are in good agreement when compared to the calculated values obtained by other published methods.
