The figure above on the left side shows the first quadrant of the J-V and power curves of an ideal and a non- ideal solar cell. The black dashed lines indicate the maximum power point of each cell. On the right side, figures (a) and (b) show the equivalent circuits of an ideal and a non-ideal solar cell respectively. To answer the following questions, estimate values from the graphs as accurately as possible, since small deviations in readings could lead to large deviations in the results. A) From the figure, estimate the Fill Factor of the ideal cell. Give the answer in [%] with one decimal place. B) Likewise, estimate the Fill Factor of the non-ideal cell. Give the answer in [%] with one decimal place.

The figure above on the left side shows the first quadrant of the J-V and power curves of an ideal and a non-
ideal solar cell. The black dashed lines indicate the maximum power point of each cell. On the right side,
figures (a) and (b) show the equivalent circuits of an ideal and a non-ideal solar cell respectively.
To answer the following questions, estimate values from the graphs as accurately as possible, since small
deviations in readings could lead to large deviations in the results.
A) From the figure, estimate the Fill Factor of the ideal cell. Give the answer in [%] with one decimal place.
B) Likewise, estimate the Fill Factor of the non-ideal cell. Give the answer in [%] with one decimal place.
C) Assuming STC illumination ( 1000 [W·m-²] ), what is the net difference between the efficiency of the
ideal cell and of the non-ideal cell? Give the answer in [%] with one decimal place.
