One way to measure the performance of a solar cell is the fill factor. This is the ratio of the maximum power to the product of the open circuit voltage and short circuit current: The higher the fill factor the better. As a general rule, commercial PV cells will have a fill factor greater than 0.7.

Standard Test Conditions (STC) of a Photovoltaic Panel
However, a photovoltaic panel does not produce a fixed DC voltage and current output, rather one that varies considerably under different operating conditions. Then buying and installing a PV solar panel rated for a particular STC wattage, for example 100 watts, may not produce such a maximum power output when installed on your roof.
Calculation & Design of Solar Photovoltaic Modules & Array
The voltage at the operating condition = Voltage at STC (V M) – loss of voltage due to a rise in temperature above STC. Therefore, Voltage at the operating condition = 0.79 V – 0.07 V = 0.72 V. Step 4: Determine the required PV module voltage to charge the battery. To charge a battery of 12 V we need module voltage to be around 15 V.

Measuring and estimating the temperature of photovoltaic modules
1. Introduction. Module temperature is an important factor that influences the power produced by a photovoltaic system (Ye et al., 2013, Lobera and Valkealahti, 2013).Typically, a crystalline silicon module loses about 4% of its power output for every 10 °C raise in module temperature.Since module temperatures above 45–50 °C are usual …

Solar Panel Output Voltage: How Many Volts Do PV Panel …
Most common solar panels include 32 cells, 36 cells, 48 cells, 60 cells, 72 cells, or 96 cells. Each PV cell produces anywhere between 0.5V and 0.6V, according to Wikipedia; this is known as Open-Circuit Voltage or V OC for short. To be more accurate, a typical open circuit voltage of a solar cell is 0.58 volts (at 77°F or 25°C).
Understanding the Voltage – Current (I-V) Curve of a Solar Cell
The operating point (I, V) corresponds to a point on the power-voltage (P-V) curve, For generating the highest power output at a given irradiance and temperature, the operating point should such correspond to the maximum of the (P-V) curve, which is called the maximum power point (MPP) defined by (Impp* Vmpp).
