In this chapter, four case studies related to solar PV energy are presented and analyzed. The first case study discusses the solar irradiance and PV characteristics including sun’s location, tilt angle, module’s temperature, open-circuit voltage, short-circuit current, and maximum power.
This book gives a comprehensive introduction to the field of photovoltaic (PV) solar cells and modules. In thirteen chapters, it addresses a wide range of topics including the spectrum of light received by PV devices, the basic functioning of a solar cell, and the physical factors limiting the efficiency of solar cells.
The more intensity of sunshine is the morequantity of power generation from PVsystem. Since the solar-cell module is with the property of negative temperature coefficient, as the temperature of the module is rising, the efficiency of power generation is decreasing gradually -. For this reason, this study estab-
2.1. The photoactive materials A solar cell in its most fundamental form consists of a semiconductor light absorber with a specific energy band gap plus electron- and hole-selective contacts for charge carrier separation and extraction.
On the practical side, c-Si solar cells make use of mono- and multi-crystalline silicon (mc-Si) wafers, wire-cut from ingots and cast silicon blocks, respectively. It is estimated that mc-Si wafers have a market share of 52% in the silicon solar cell manufacturing industry today, coming from a 60% versus 40% for mono-Si in 2017 .
The combination of these two advanced technologies has been the key for boosting the conversion efficiency of Si-based solar cells up to the current record value of 26.7% set by Kaneka , . From the commercial point of view, Sanyo (now Panasonic) pioneered the SHJ solar cell in the early 1990s.
