Characteristic curves of solar

cell
Solar cell measures the diffused light as well as the direct light
from the lamp. It measures the no-load voltage and the short-
circuit current.
Principal:
To measure the current-voltage characteristics of a solar cell at different light
intensities,the distance between the light source and the solar cell is
varied.Moreover,the dependence of no- load voltage on temperature is
determined.
Working Principal:
The working principal of solar cell depends on the photovoltaic effects.
It is an electrical device (p-n junction) that converts the energy of light
directly into electricity.
• . The fill factor of solar cell is the ratio of maximum obtainable power
to the product of the open-circuit voltage and short-circuit current
