Solar Cell Characterization Apparatus ( I-V Characteristics )

The filling factor (FF) is defined to be P m / (I sc.V oc), which represents an important parameter used to evaluate the quality of the solar cell.. P m is the maximum output power of the solar cell, i.e., the maximum value of I * V.. Short-circuit current (I sc) is the output current of the solar cell when the external circuit is shorted, i.e., zero load resistance.
