FF depends on n
The idality factor may influence FF as strongly as Rs.

FF, pFF und 1FF
Two cells with low FF 1) Mainly due to Rs pFF is close to 1FF 2) Mainly due to n pFF is far from1FF
Determine FF and pFF, if possible using Rs(V), and 1FF

LUH
Main points
• Extraction of Rs(V) from three I-V curves (TLL method)
• Clear distinction between Rs(V) and recombination losses
•Rs(V)-corrected I-V curve
→ pFF < 1FF ?
• Further analysis and prediction with simulations
FF is not only determined by Rs, but also by the ideality factor, i.e.by recombination, especially in good cells (where the base or the rear surface dominates)
