Simply multiply the maximum power current (Imp) by the maximum power voltage (Vmp) and divide by short circuit current (Isc) times open circuit voltage (Voc) or (Vmp * Imp) / (Voc * Isc). This information (Imp, Vmp, Isc, and Voc) is all listed on the module label and in the. . There are 3 main types of solar cells – Each of the three types has its own pros and cons that we will discuss in another article. In this article, we will discuss the most important terminologies which we should know before we select a suitable solar panel for our application. It tells us how square a module's I-V curve is, which relates to the efficiency and performance of the module. Not all the module data are always available.
