Abstract

The work is devoted to the use of solar energy. The analysis of the problem of choosing solar panels according to their technical characteristics is carried out. It is shown that the key parameters for evaluating the efficiency of solar cells and photovoltaic cells are not so much the efficiency factor, but the fill factor. The article provides a refined formula for calculating the fill factor.
