Maximum Power is also temp. dependent but Pmpt starts around 82%Voc then declines with input power to ~70%.Voc, thus series R is dynamic and load
The characteristic resistance of a solar cell is the cell''s output resistance at its maximum power point. If the resistance of the load is equal to the characteristic resistance of the solar cell, then the maximum power is transferred to the load,

Effect of series resistance on the current-voltage characteristics of a solar cell. As series resistance increases, the voltage drop between the junction voltage and the terminal voltage becomes greater for the same current. The result is that the current-controlled portion of the I-V curve begins to sag toward the origin, producing a

The series resistance (R s) of a solar cell is commonly represented as a constant resistance value. However, because of the distributed nature of series resistance, the effective lumped R s vary with current density and illumination intensity.
Also, be aware that in the literature you may find models for the solar cell''s behaviour that define the series resistance to be nonlinear (e.g. by declaring it to depend on the current flowing
Like batteries, solar cells contain an internal ''series resistance'' that reduces efficiency and can lead to overheating; however, they differ in that this For an ideal solar cell, the series resistance would be zero such that no energy is unnecessarily dissipated in resistors other than the target load, and thus the ideal target load

The presence of nonohmic internal series resistances in most thin-film solar cells has two consequences, namely 1) that the superposition principle [41, 46, 47] stops to be valid in thin-film solar cells and 2) that the measured series resistance is no longer a constant but a function of voltage and illumination.
Equivalent circuit diagram of a solar cell showing the load, series resistance (R se), shunt resistance (R sh) and the voltage across the cell (V c). To study the extrinsic loss processes quantitatively, the concept of external radiative efficiency (ERE) is defined to describe the photocurrent loss caused by recombinations in a solar cell [ 21, 22 ].

The series resistance of a solar cell dominates fill factor losses, especially in large area commercial solar cells, so an accurate measurement is vital in quantifying losses. There are several methods to measure series resistance and the comparisons of the accuracy for specific cell types. 1 2
Series and shunt resistances in solar cells are parasitic parameters, which affect the illuminated current–voltage (I–V) characteristics and effi ciency of cells. Very high values of series resistance (R s) and very low values of shunt resistance (R sh) reduce short-circuit current density (J sc) and open-circuit voltage (V oc), respectively.
However, near the open-circuit voltage, the IV curve is strongly affected by the series resistance. A straight-forward method of estimating the series resistance from a solar cell is to find the slope of the IV curve at the open-circuit voltage point.
Series resistance does not affect the solar cell at open-circuit voltage since the overall current flow through the solar cell, and therefore through the series resistance is zero. However, near the open-circuit voltage, the IV curve is strongly affected by the series resistance.
The characteristic resistance of a solar cell is the cell's output resistance at its maximum power point. If the resistance of the load is equal to the characteristic resistance of the solar cell, then the maximum power is transferred to the load, and the solar cell operates at its maximum power point.
One of the biggest problems is that the cell series resistance is a lumped parameter composed of many resistances within the device. A solar cell is a three dimensional device and can be thought of as a network of resistors and diodes. As the level of current changes so does the apparent series resistance.
