Abstract/Summary:

---

A three-dimensional study is made to improve the theoretical approach of the series and shunt resistances of a polycrystalline silicon solar cell. The series and shunt resistances are calculated in the base region of the cell and the influence of grain size and grain boundary recombination velocity on these resistances are shown.
