2) A solar cell (0.9 cm) receives solar radiation with photons of 1.8eV energy having an intensity of 0.9 mW/cm². Measurements show open-circuit voltage of 0.6 V/cm², short-circuit current of 10 mA/cm² and the maximum current is 50% of the short-circuit current. The efficiency of the cell is 25%. Calculate the maximum voltage that the cell can give and find the fill factor.
