A silicon solar cell has area 50 cm2, reverse-saturation current 0.75 μA, β = 2. The electrical power generated in the 0.4Ω load resistor is 894 mW. Determine (a) The circuit current i, (b) the photocurrent iλ, (c) the optical power incident on the cell, assuming that 80% is absorbed, and (d) the optical-to-electrical conversion efficiency of the cell. Assume the temperature remains near 300 K. Assume λ = 500 nm for the incident light.

Given a PV cell with light current density of 0.035A/cm2 and reverse saturation current density of 1.5x10-10 A/cm2. Calculate the voltage and current at the maximum power and also the fill factor under the ambient temperature of 32 oC. Use m=1 for an ideal diode. Plot current and power as a function of voltage from V=0 to V=Voc to verify that the approximation method for maximum current and voltage is a good agreement with the plotted values.
