I am trying to calculate the power loss of a Kyocera solar panel. There is a temperature coefficient of the open circuit voltage of -.08 V/C and temperature coefficient of the short circuit current of .00502 A/C. I am not sure how to relate these two coefficients with the power loss.

If volts open circuit and amps for short circuit are given I would think that they are leading you toward a Thevenin equivalent circuit. R-thevenin / R-load *100 is power transfer efficiency.
