Solar cell parameters gained from every I-V curve include the short circuit current, Isc, the open circuit voltage, Voc, the current Imax and voltage Vmax at the maximum power point Pmax, the fill factor (FF), and the power conversion efficiency of the cell, η [2–6].
The solar cell parameters are as follows; Short circuit current is the maximum current produced by the solar cell, it is measured in ampere (A) or milli-ampere (mA). As can be seen from table 1 and figure 2 that the open-circuit voltage is zero when the cell is producing maximum current (ISC = 0.65 A).
Some of these covered characteristics pertain to the workings within the cell structure (e.g., charge carrier lifetimes) while the majority of the highlighted characteristics help establish the macro per-formance of the finished solar cell (e.g., spectral response, maximum power out-put).
Under STC the corresponding solar radiation is equal to 1000 W/m2 and the cell operating temperature is equal to 25oC. The solar cell parameters are as follows; Short circuit current is the maximum current produced by the solar cell, it is measured in ampere (A) or milli-ampere (mA).
Cell Area: By increasing the area of the cell, the generated current by the cell also increases. The angle of incident: If the light falling on the cell is perpendicular to its surface, the power generated by it is optimum. Ideally, the angle should be 90o but practically it should be as close as 90o. The solar cell is a two-terminal device.
