We propose an improved lumped-parameter equivalent circuit model to describe S-shaped I–V kinks observed from organic solar cells. Firstly, to predict the S-shaped I–V kinks accurately in both the first and fourth quadrants, a shunt resistor in parallel with extraction diode is added to our previous model. Secondly, based on the Newton–Raphson method, we derive a solution to our improved circuit. Thirdly, our solution is verified by the method of least squares and experiments. Finally, compared with our previous work, the improved circuit has higher accuracy in demonstrating S-shaped I–V kinks in the first and fourth quadrants. Such an improved model is suitable for circuit simulations of organic solar cells. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
