The performance of the solar cell is influenced by the spectral solar distribution. The silicon solar cell spectral response does not totally coincide with the solar spectrum. In the case of sun light exposure at outdoor conditions, the shapes of the cell spectral response curves are slightly different than that of under simulated light exposure. This paper is interested in studying the effect of variation of solar radiation during the partial eclipse on the output short circuit current and open circuit voltage of the monocrystalline and amorphous silicon solar cells. Also, the spectral cell behaveiour in terms of the solar eclipse was investigated. The ultimate goal is to explain some of an interesting natural phenomenon by using the solar cell spectral response.
