TLDR
In this article, the effect of series resistance on the photovoltaic output and the p-n junction characteristics of solar energy converter cells is investigated. But, as shown in Figure 1, this method requires two translations of the coordinate system and requires only the knowledge of the series resistance and the difference in light intensity or short circuit currents.About:
