Abstract

In this study, we report that the current-voltage characteristic curve of solar cells provides information about the efficiency of solar cells to convert sunlight directly into electrical energy. The influence of temperature, level of irradiation, as well as the basic materials that are made of it will cause the characteristic curve to change. The halogen lamp is utilized as a light source and is focused in a box with all of its sides being dark as part of a sun simulator that serves as a substitute for the sun's role in the solar system. The solar cell's characteristics are determined by adjusting the irradiation distance and intensity that it receives. The conformity of the output results from measuring the solar cell characteristics in the form of Isc, Voc, Pmax, Imax, and Vmax with the factory specification product obtained. From the results obtained a Voc of 8.59 Volts, an Isc of 0.00539 Amperes, and a Pmax of 0.0217008 Watt at a light intensity of 24.6 Watt/m2.
