I
I-V curve = A graphical presentation plotting the current versus the voltage from the photovoltaic solar cell as the electrical load (or resistance) is increased from short circuit (no load) to the open circuit (maximum voltage). The shape of the curve characterizes the overall cell performance. Three important points to note on any IV curve [...]
