A new method to evaluate the five parameters of illuminated solar cells is described. The method is based on nonlinear least squares approach. On calculating the lsqcurvefit-function with constraints, between the experimental current-voltage I(V) characteristic and a theoretical arbitrary characteristic based on Lambert W-function. The used model is implemented as a MATLAB® script which yields the I(V) characteristics of the LILT under test. The model has been validated against by applying it to experimental I(V) characteristics. Some parameters of the model have been measured directly whereas others have been evaluated by means of direct computation on the data sheet or by means of best-fit on the measured data. The results have been compared and an analysis of the errors is presented.
