Abstract
We have developed an electrical circuit-based compact numerical fitting model to determine industry-related physical parameters of solar cells utilizing only 3–8 current–voltage coordinate points without any specific selection of an experimental coordinate axis. The proposed compact numerical fitting model was effectively tested to determine the peak power point, fill factor and efficiencies for organic and inorganic solar cells, as well as for solar panels. This research facilitates cost-effective energy management of solar modules and farms.
