Please provide a detailed answer in the following exercise.

Thank you in advance.

A module consisting of 2 parallel strings of 20 series-connected squared solar cells (cell length 12 [cm]), is
measured under standard test conditions (1000 [W· m ²]). Each cell has the following external parameters:
Voc = 0.8 [V], Isc = 3 [A], FF = 0.8.
A) What is the open circuit voltage Voc of the module? Give the answer in [V] with one decimal place:
B) What is the short-circuit current Isc of the module? Give the answer in [A] with one decimal place:
C) What is the maximum power output of the module? Give the answer in [W] with one decimal place:
D) What is the efficiency of the solar cells? Give the answer in [%] with one decimal place:
E) Assuming now that the module dimensions are 0.5 [m] x 1.25 [m], what would be the module efficiency?
Give the answer in [%] with one decimal place:
