23. AMPS-1D approach is developed by prof. S.J. Fonash and his students at The Pennsylvania State University. It utilized a numerical method to solve the very general equations which describe the basic phenomena present in photovoltaic devices: Diffusion, drift, generation, recombination, space charge, electronstatic fields, and effective field.
