Solar Cells Question

Question

Calculate the power generated by the solar cell which obtained Voc = 0.87 V and Isc = 4.1 mA upon direct exposure to sunlight. Assume a fill factor of 25%.

Answer 1

The power generated by the solar cell is: Pmp = FF*V_oc*I_sc.

FF = 0.25

V_oc = 0.87 V

I_sc = 0.004 A

Plugging these numbers into the above equation Pmp = 0.25*0.87*0.004 = 0.87mW
