Ans. : (d)
Solution: The efficiency of a solar cell is determined as the fraction of incident power which is
converted to electricity and is defined as
Voc I sc FF
 and Pmax  Voc I sc FF
Pin
where Voc is the open circuit voltage, I sc is the short circuit current density , FF is the

Fill factor, Pin is the input power and  is the efficiency of the solar cell.

Given Pin  100 mW / cm2 , I sc  30 mA / cm 2 , Voc  0.7 V

Let 1 is the efficiency of solar cell when FF  0.8
