Polycrystalline silicon PV cell structure. It will be assumed the ideal solar cell in this study. The contribution from the base to the photocurrent being greater than that of the emitter (Furlan and Amon, 1985). The present work will be taken account the base contribution assumed the center of the generation-recombination phenomena.
However, the efficiency of these cells is greatly influenced by their configuration and temperature. This research aims to explore the current–voltage (I−V) characteristics of individual, series, and parallel configurations in crystalline silicon solar cells under varying temperatures.
Crystalline Silicon Solar Panel: A high-quality crystalline silicon solar panel was selected as the test specimen. This panel served as the basis for measuring the IV characteristics under various conditions.
The efficiency of the single-junction terrestrial crystalline silicon PV cell is around 26% today (Green et al., 2019, Green et al., 2020). The mono-Si solar cell outputs strongly depends on the environmental parameters such as light intensity, tracking angle and cell temperature etc. (Ouedraogo et al., 2019, Chander et al., 2015).
The experimental setup, as shown in Figure 2, is capable of generating controlled conditions for measuring the IV (current–voltage) characteristics of crystalline silicon solar cells in different configurations (individual, series, and parallel). The key components of the experimental setup included: Figure 2. Experimental setup.
The best real-world silicon solar cell to date, developed by Kaneka Corporation, is able to achieve 26.7% conversion efficiency 7, 8. A loss analysis of this 165 μm -thick, heterojunction IBC cell shows that in absence of any extrinsic loss mechanism the limiting efficiency of such a cell would be 29.1% 7.
