Experimentally determined values of open-circuit voltage, short-circuit current, and maximum power for p on n and n on p silicon solar cells are presented for temperatures ranging from -196°C to + 50°C under equivalent space sunlight intensities of 58 mW/cm2 and 268 mW/cm2. An anomalous behavior is observed in the n on p cells at low temperatures; namely, the open-circuit voltage becomes nearly independent of temperature below a transition temperature Tt that depends on the sunlight intensity.
