Question

The maximum power point of a solar cell occurs at open circuit voltage
True
False

Answer 1

, is the maximum voltage available from a solar cell, and this occurs at zero current. The open-circuit voltage corresponds to the amount of forward bias on the solar cell due to the bias of the solar cell junction with the light- generated current. The open-circuit voltage is shown on the IV curve below.

Answer 2

It is true that the maximum power point of a solar cell occurs at open circuit voltage because it is usually available only for solar energy and that also at zero current.

It also has a light generated current which actually depends on the bias nature of the solar cell junction and the solar cells that are present.
