The short-circuit current is the current through the solar cell when the voltage across the solar cell is zero (i.e., when the solar cell is short circuited). Usually written as I SC, the short-circuit current is shown on the IV curve below.
Real-world "short-circuit" current often increases with series connection as the cabling might be the actual limiting factor. But it is always below the maximum short circuit current in any case.

It thus provides much less energy than a conventional generator. The initial symmetrical short-circuit current Ik" will not last longer than 50 ms.
Such currents are relevant for the correct dimensioning of the wiring and the protective devices, both at the system level and the grid level. Grid operators frequently ask manufacturers of PV and battery inverters to provide maximum values of short-circuit currents.
The short-circuit current contribution during a voltage dip depends largely on the operation mode of the inverter. The following operation modes can occur and influence the uninterrupted short-circuit current Ik. Note that both operating modes are equally available for riding through overvoltage events (high-voltage ride-through, HVRT).
During voltage dips, especially complete grid failures, all PV and battery inverters connected to the grid may generate currents that are slightly above the maximum current in normal operating conditions. Such currents are relevant for the correct dimensioning of the wiring and the protective devices, both at the system level and the grid level.
