The I-V curve is the standard measurement in PV research and, when done correctly, can quickly and accurately measure the performance of a photovoltaic device. There are three metrics which will determine solar cell efficiency: the open circuit voltage (VOC), the short circuit current (JSC), and the fill factor (FF). When.

Both n- and p-type solar cells with edge lengths between 20 and 175mm and short-circuit currents of up to 15A are measured. Figure 2. CalTeC’s I–V curve measurement facility.
There are several methods used to characterize solar cells. The most common and essential measurement you can take is the current-voltage (I-V) sweep. From this, you can calculate all the necessary device metrics needed to work out the efficiency of your solar cell. The I-V sweep is a quick measurement.
The relationship between the two might need to be adjusted for the resistances of the wires, as in the example we described above, but overall the four-wire measurement is a way to accurately get current and voltage information of a device. A Kelvin or four-wire measurement is essential to getting accurate IV data while testing a solar cell.
To test solar cells reliably, you need to maintain controlled conditions within your lab — and this is impossible to do while allowing direct, unfiltered sunlight onto your testing equipment. Additionally, many potential solar cell materials are unable to withstand weathering effects during the early stages of development.
