What is the Module Short Circuit Current (ISC)?

This is the current that is produced by a PV panel when the load circuit impedance is reduced to zero Ohms, creating a short circuit. This rating is again determined using the Standard Test Conditions and is subject to change based on the temperature of the panel. Unlike voltages and power, the current is usually positively effected by temperature, such that the current will increase with temperature. This increase is very small compared to the reduction of voltage with temperature. (Taken from SMA-America ’07.
