Real photo diodes do not precisely obey the ideal photo diode equation (25.17) A more realistic model

Question:

Real photo diodes do not precisely obey the ideal photo diode equation (25.17)

A more realistic model is the non-ideal photo diode equation

where m > 1 is the ideality factor. Consider a non ideal photo diode with m = 2, Voc = 0.7 V. Compute Iphoto/I0 and the fill factor. Compare the efficiency with an ideal photo diode with m = 1 and the same open circuit voltage.
