FUNDAMENTAL PROPERTIES OF SOLAR CELLS
astro1.panet.utoledo.eduJan 31, 2012 · The open-circuit voltage, Voc, 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.
