But what IS a short circuit? A short circuit happens when an electrical current flows outside of its intended circuit with no resistance to the flow.

Researchers in Saudi Arabia have conducted a series of tests to investigate the temperature coefficient of the short circuit current in perovskite-silicon tandem solar cells and have found that it ...

The short circuit current on a PV module datasheet is based on standard testing conditions, including irradiance of 1 kW/m 2, a spectrum air mass of 1.5, and a cell temperature of 25 C.
