Why Does the I-V Characteristic Curve Invert in PC1D Simulations?

[Smile_Face]

Hi All,

I am using PC1D (is the most commonly used of the commercially available solar cell modelling programs) when I tried to simulate PV silicon to see I-V characteristic curve the curve flip as you can see attached file. My question how can I make short_circuit Ib positive value?


Results :
Short_circuit Ib : -3.183
Max base power out : 1.362 watts
Open-cicuit Vb : 0.5920 volts

Thanks in advance
