Series resistance in a solar cell has three causes: firstly, the movement of current through the emitter and base of the solar cell; secondly, the contact resistance between the metal contact and the silicon; and finally the resistance of the top and rear metal contacts.
Thirdly the determination of the series resistance using three different experimental set-ups (solar simulators) shows agreement on the level of ±5% for crystalline Silicon photovoltaic devices and deviations up to 15% for thin-film devices.
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.
The performance of a solar PhotoVoltaic (PV) cell is affected by both internal and external parameters. Internal parameters like photogenerated current, reverse saturation current, series resistance, shunt resistance, and ideality factor are the main causes for developing hot spot and mismatch effect in a PV cell.
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.

known as the ''peak power'' of the cell. Hence photovoltaic panels are usually rated in terms of their ''peak'' watts (W p). The fill factor (FF), is a measure of the junction quality and series resistance of a cell.
