How to detect short-circuit current of photovoltaic panels
To find the short circuit current of your solar panel here are the simple steps you need to follow:Connect the positive lead or terminal of the solar panel to its negative lead. This is called shorting.Set the solar panel out in the sun.Switch the multimeter to measure amps.Clamp the multimeter around the connection created between the positive and negative terminals.The value given by the multimeter is the short circuit current.

If you connect both ends of your solar panel you will get a short circuit connection. Now put your solar panel under light and take a clamp-on meter.
Locate the short circuit current (Isc) on the specs label on the back of the panel. Remember this number for later. My panel’s Isc is 6.56A. 2. Prep your multimeter to measure DC amps.
A short circuit test measures the short circuit current of the module or string. Compare that current value to the expected short circuit current of the module spec sheet, given sunlight conditions.
Follow these steps to accurately measure the short-circuit current of a solar panel:Select a Sunny Day: Ensure you are measuring Isc on a bright, sunny day to get the most accurate reading.Set Up the Multimeter: Turn on the multimeter and set it to measure current (Amps). Connect the Multimeter Leads: Attach the multimeter leads to the positive and negative terminals of the solar panel.
