Comprehensive Silicon Solar Cell Computer Modeling (SICELL) program simulates silicon solar cell. Predicts device parameters as efficiency, voltage-vs.-current characteristic fill factor, and temperature coefficients of parameters. Technique used similar to numerical-integration methods, but commonality described by use of mesh-point field. Validation studies show accuracies of simulations range from 0.08 percent to 3.6 percent for 27 experimental data points over temperature range of 300K to 421K. Results obtained by use of 10 mesh points in n- and p-type regions and for two iterations. SICELL runs interactively on VAX computer under VMS and written in VAX/VMS FORTRAN 77.
