Reference / One-diode saturation-current floor

Model option

No floor

The saturation current as the temperature law gives it

Inputs used: Open-circuit voltage, Short-circuit current

Method

The saturation current is the value the temperature law gives at every cell temperature, with no lower limit (1).

The math

I0=I0,law(1)I_0 = I_{0,law} \tag{1}

where

Symbol Meaning Unit
