STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Maximum Conversion Efficiency: 0.4 --> No Conversion Required
Flux Incident on Top Cover: 4500 Joule per Second per Square Meter --> 4500 Watt per Square Meter (Check conversion here)
Area of Solar Cell: 25 Square Millimeter --> 2.5E-05 Square Meter (Check conversion here)
Fill Factor of Solar Cell: 0.0029 --> No Conversion Required
Open Circuit Voltage: 0.191 Volt --> 0.191 Volt No Conversion Required

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

I_sc = (η_max*I_T*A_c)/(FF*V_oc) --> (0.4*4500*2.5E-05)/(0.0029*0.191)

Evaluating ... ...

I_sc = 81.2421014623578

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

81.2421014623578 Ampere --> No Conversion Required

FINAL ANSWER

81.2421014623578 ≈ 81.2421 Ampere <-- Short Circuit Current in Solar cell

What does reverse saturation current depend on?

In a PN junction diode, the reverse saturation current is due to the diffusive flow of minority electrons from the p-side to the n-side and the minority holes from the n-side to the p-side. Hence, the reverse saturation current depends on the diffusion coefficient of electrons and holes.
