The equivalent circuit of a solar cell

This video is part of the FREE online course PV1x Photovoltaic Energy Conversion, developed by Delft University of Technology. PV1x is part of the Solar Energy Engineering MicroMasters this video we look at the solar cell from an electrical engineering perspective. How can we simulate the I-V characteristics of a solar cell in a circuit diagram? We will answer that question in this video by looking at the equivalent circuit of a solar cell.
