    The document describes the I-V characteristic curve of a solar cell. The curve plots the current (I) produced by the cell versus the voltage (V). The curve shows that as voltage increases from 0, current also increases until the open circuit voltage (Voc) is reached, at which point current drops to 0. The short circuit current (Isc) is the maximum current delivered at 0 volts. The peak power point (Pmax) occurs at the voltage (Vmp) and current (Imp) where the product I×V is maximized.
