A better approach to the evaluation of the series resistance of solar cells
TL;DR: A simple method for obtaining the series resistance of solar cells is described and Universal current-voltage characteristics of the solar cells are given to illustrate the effects of series and shunt resistance.

Double-sided n+-p-n+ solar cell for bifacial concentration
TL;DR: In this article, a theoretical and experimental analysis of the properties of an n + -p-n + transistor-like structure called Transcell is presented, which enables us to design optimum metallization grid patterns which reduce the effect of the series resistance to acceptable levels.

Detailed Balance Limit of Efficiency of p‐n Junction Solar Cells
TL;DR: In this article, an upper theoretical limit for the efficiency of p−n junction solar energy converters, called the detailed balance limit of efficiency, has been calculated for an ideal case in which the only recombination mechanism of holeelectron pairs is radiative as required by the principle of detailed balance.
