Dark current in solar cells is a reverse current that occurs without light. It's very important because it makes solar cells less efficient. This happens as it reduces both the open-circuit voltage and the fill factor. For Fenice Energy, knowing about dark current is key. They want to make solar cells work better and convert more solar energy.
