In the single diode model of solar cell described by
I = I0( exp(q(V-I*Rs)/n*KB*T)-1) +(V-IRs)/Rsh - Iph
n is described as the diode ideality factor. For Si solar cells n is a number between 1 and 2. What is the physical meaning of n and what factors affect this. Is is possible to have an ideality factor greater than 2 for a solar cell? I'm getting ideality factors greater than 2 for illuminated curves obtained for organic solar cells.
Also, I'm interested in any algorithm, or literature where n is not a constant, but vary from short circuit condition to open circuit condition.
Thanks.
