One is that since cell characteristics are referenced to a common cross-sectional area they may be compared for cells of different physical dimensions.

The photovoltaic (PV) cell converts solar energy into electrical energy (direct current). It is often useful to take a cell operating at a certain solar irradiance and temperature and calculate its electrical output characteristics (i.e. voltage-current (V-I) curve). It is also desirable to perform these calculations using commonly available
The electrical characteristics of a photovoltaic array are summarised in the relationship between the output current and voltage. The amount and intensity of solar insolation (solar irradiance) controls the amount of output current ( ), and the operating temperature of the solar cells affects the output voltage ( ) of the PV array.
The output power of the PV cell is voltage times current, so there is no output power for a short-circuit condition because of VOUT or for an open-circuit condition because of IOUT = 0. Above the short-circuit point, the PV cell operates with a resistive load.
Several factors determine the efficiency of a PV cell: the type of cell, the reflectance efficiency of the cell’s surface, the thermodynamic efficiency limit, the quantum efficiency, the maximum power point, and internal resistances. When light photons strike the PV cell, some are reflected and some are absorbed.
Other important characteristics include how the current varies as a function of the output voltage and as a function of light intensity or irradiance. The current-voltage (I-V) curve for a PV cell shows that the current is essentially constant over a range of output voltages for a specified amount of incident light energy.
The parameters of a PV cell found in manufacturer data sheets are typically quoted at Standard Test Conditions (STC): an irradiance of 1,000 , the standard reference spectral irradiance with Air Mass 1.5 (see the NREL site for more details) and a cell temperature of 25 deg C.
The I–V curve of a PV cell is shown in Figure 6. The star indicates the maximum power point (MPP) of the I–V curve, where the PV will produce its maximum power. At voltages below the MPP, the current is a relative constant as voltage changes such that it acts similar to a current source.
