A given solar cell has the following specifications:Open-circuit voltage, Voc: 0.7 VShort-circuit current, Isc: 3.5 AShort-circuit current, Isc: 3.5 AShort-circuit current, Isc: 3.5 AIf the solar cell operates at maximum power point, calculate the efficiency.

• A. 12.70%
• B. 13.70%
• C. 15.70%
• D. 14.70%

Answer: (D)

Equation is given by:
Efficiency = (F.F*Voc*Isc)/Pin
= (0.6*3.5*0.7)/10
= 0.14702
% efficiency = 14.7 %
