The characteristic resistance of a solar cell is the cell's output resistance at its maximum power point. If the resistance of the load is equal to the characteristic resistance of the solar cell, then the maximum power is transferred to the load, and the solar cell operates at its maximum power point.
If the resistance of the load is equal to the characteristic resistance of the solar cell, then the maximum power is transferred to the load, and the solar cell operates at its maximum power point. It is a useful parameter in solar cell analysis, particularly when examining the impact of parasitic loss mechanisms.
If you attach a load with a high resistance, e.g., an LCD clock, effectively the solar cell’s total voltage will drop across the load. On the other hand, if you attach a relatively low-resistance motor to the circuit, most of the voltage will drop across the solar cell’s internal resistance, and the useful output will drop.
The characteristic resistance of a solar cell is the inverse of the slope of the line, shown in the figure above as V MP divided by I MP 1. For most cells, R CH can be approximated by V OC divided by I SC: R C H = V M P I M P ≈ V O C I S C R CH is in Ω (ohms) when using I MP or I SC as is typical in a module or full cell area.
The internal resistance depends on the load duration. In a 1.5-volt AA battery, this resistance is approx. 0.01 ohm for a short duration and increases to approx. 1 ohm for longer durations. This is completely different in solar cells: In this case, the internal resistance is relatively high and depends greatly on the illuminance.
For example, commercial silicon solar cells are very high current and low voltage devices. A 156 mm (6 inch) square solar cell has a current of 9 or 10 amps and a maximum power point voltage of 0.6 volts giving a characteristic resistance, R CH, of 0.067 Ω. A 72 cell module from the same cells has R CH = 4 to 5 ohm.
First of all, there is no such thing as "the resistance" of a solar cell, because (i) one has to distinguish between the series resistance, the shunt resistance, and (in the case of a p-n...
