Electronic – LTSpice Solar / photovoltaic simulation

ltspicesolar cell

I've been trying to simulate a solar cell with LTSpice to generate an I-V curve. The model I've been using is the simplified equivalent circuit model with a current source in parallel with a diode. See image from NI:

The problem is that I can't find what kind of values the components should have.

I'm using an IKEA PV module from the Sunnan lamp and I want to have a simulation of this to show the curve compared to measured. There is unfortunately no information on the module, but I have measured 1.64V open circuit indoor and about 260µA short circuit. Is there a way to base the simulation on that information?
