Analytical expressions have been obtained for extracting the electrical parameters and characteristics of solar cells, including series and shunt resistances, and the saturation current. The method of Lagrange multipliers was used for computing the shape factor of the current–voltage characteristic (CVC) of solar cell. The calculation results demonstrated a satisfactory agreement with experimental data.
