The effect of solar cell capacitance in the electrical characterization of photovoltaic (PV) modules at Standard Test Conditions (STC) is known since the 1990s.
The capacitor represents the accumulation of charges in the PV device. The capacitance of a PV device is attributed to both junction capacitance and diffusion capacitance, both of which are voltage dependent.
The effect of cell capacitance in the high-efficiency Si PV module available nowadays can give rise, if uncorrected, to a severe underestimation of in direct I – V measurements.
The single diode capacitive model is sufficient to describe the effect at module level. In this paper, we suggested to introduce the effective cell capacitance per unit cell area: values at maximum power point have been measured on a set of 10 c-Si modules, including products with high capacitance.
It is well-known at least since the 1990s [ 3] that the cell diffusion capacitance in high-efficiency solar cells generates transient loss (or gain) of power when these products are electrically characterized with fast voltage sweeps.
