ENfill factor 
(Abbreviation: FF) (Unit: dimensionless, usually expressed as a percentage, %)

ratio of maximum PV device output power to the product of open-circuit voltage and short-circuit electric current

It is calculated by:

FF = Pmax / (Voc Isc)

NOTE Fill factor is often used to indicate the electricity production quality of a device
