    This lecture discusses characterizing solar cells by measuring their power conversion efficiency. Power conversion efficiency is calculated by measuring the maximum power output of a solar cell under illumination and dividing it by the power input of the light source. The key parameters measured are short circuit current (Isc), open circuit voltage (Voc), and maximum power point (Pmax). Fill factor is also defined as the ratio of the maximum power point to the product of Isc and Voc, and provides a measure of the "squareness" of the solar cell's I-V curve.
