Semiempirical expressions have been obtained with acceptable levels of accuracy for solar cell fill factors as a function of normalised voltages and normalised parasitic resistances. These expressions extend the fill factor calculations to cases where the parasitic resistances are equally important. Also established is a very accurate expression for the fill factor of an ideal solar cell.
