Calculating the open circuit voltage, :math:`V_{oc}`, of an ideal device
with infinite shunt resistance, :math:`R_{sh} \\to \\infty`, and zero
series resistance, :math:`R_s = 0`, yields the following equation [1]. As
an estimate of :math:`V_{oc}` it is useful as an upper bound for the
bisection method.

Explicit calculation of points on the IV curve described by the single

* Usage of ``d2mutau`` is required with PVSyst
coefficients for cadmium-telluride (CdTe) and amorphous-silicon
(a:Si) PV modules only.
* Do not use ``d2mutau`` with CEC coefficients.
Parameters
----------

diode voltage :math:`V_d` [V]

photo-generated current :math:`I_{L}` [A]

d2mutau : numeric, default 0
PVsyst parameter for cadmium-telluride (CdTe) and amorphous-silicon
(a-Si) modules that accounts for recombination current in the
intrinsic layer. The value is the ratio of intrinsic layer thickness
squared :math:`d^2` to the diffusion length of charge carriers
:math:`\mu \tau`. [V]
NsVbi : numeric, default np.inf
PVsyst parameter for cadmium-telluride (CdTe) and amorphous-silicon
(a-Si) modules that is the product of the PV module number of series
cells :math:`N_{s}` and the builtin voltage :math:`V_{bi}` of the
intrinsic layer. [V].
breakdown_factor : numeric, default 0
fraction of ohmic current involved in avalanche breakdown :math:`a`.
Default of 0 excludes the reverse bias term from the model. [unitless]
breakdown_voltage : numeric, default -5.5
reverse breakdown voltage of the photovoltaic junction :math:`V_{br}`
[V]
breakdown_exp : numeric, default 3.28
avalanche breakdown exponent :math:`m` [unitless]
gradients : bool
False returns only I, V, and P. True also returns gradients
Returns
-------
tuple
currents [A], voltages [V], power [W], and optionally
:math:`\frac{dI}{dV_d}`, :math:`\frac{dV}{dV_d}`,
:math:`\frac{dI}{dV}`, :math:`\frac{dP}{dV}`, and
:math:`\frac{d^2 P}{dV dV_d}`
Notes
-----
The PVSyst thin-film recombination losses parameters ``d2mutau`` and
``NsVbi`` should only be applied to cadmium-telluride (CdTe) and amorphous-
silicon (a-Si) PV modules, [2]_, [3]_. The builtin voltage :math:`V_{bi}`
should account for all junctions. For example: tandem and triple junction
cells would have builtin voltages of 1.8[V] and 2.7[V] respectively, based
on the default of 0.9[V] for a single junction. The parameter ``NsVbi``
should only account for the number of series cells in a single parallel
sub-string if the module has cells in parallel greater than 1.
