The influence of the applied magnetic field on the diode current density Jd, the both electric power-photovoltage and photocurrent-photovoltage characteristics are discussed. Nyquist diagram permitted to determine the electrical parameters such as series resistance Rs and parallel equivalent resistance Rp of a polycrystalline silicon solar cell. Bode diagram is then used to calculate the cut-off frequency, the capacitance C and inductance L. It has been shown that, under magnetic field, the solar cell behavior is like a low-pass filter. %K Electrical parameters %K frequency modulation %K magnetic field %K polycrystalline silicon %U http://www.maxwellsci.com/jp/abstract.php?jid=RJASET&no=123&abs=04
