  1. Applications of Photovoltaic Technologies

  2. Solar Cell-structure Busbar Antireflection coating Fingers Emitter Antireflection texturing (grid pattern) Base Rear contact • A solar cell is a P-N junction device • Light shining on the solar cell produces both a current and a voltage to generate electric power.

  3. I-V Tester

  4. Illumination Sources Table: Solar simulator classification according to IEC 60904-9 Ed. 2.0.

  5. No Resistive Losses IL V ID Solar Cell model • The I-V relation is given as: I Io－dark saturation current , IL－light generated current. , n －ideality factor .

  6. Solar Cell I-V Curve I • Under illumination solar cell can be operated in the fourth quadrant corresponding to delivering power to the external circuit I (diffu.) V I0 • A P-N junction in the dark consumes power, as it can be operated in 1st or 3rd quadrant • Effect of solar radiation on the I-V curve • Current in the illuminated solar cell is negative, flows against the conventional direction of a forward diode

  7. Solar Cell I-V Curve I Isc Pm Im V Vm Voc • Solar cell parameters • Voc - open circuit voltage, • Isc - short circuit current, • Pm - maximum power point • Im, Vm – current and voltage • at maximum power point • FF – fill factor • η – efficiency • Rs – series resistance • Rsh – shunt resistance Usual I-V plot of solar cell – Current is shown on positive y -axis

  8. Short-Circuit Current, Isc I Pm X Im Vm Voc • The short-circuit current is the current through the solar cell when the voltage across the solar cell is zero (i.e., when the solar cell is short circuited). • The short-circuit current is due to the generation and collection of light-generated carriers. • The short-circuit current is the largest current which may be drawn from the solar cell. At V=0  I= -IL= Isc

  9. Open Circuit Voltage: Voc I Isc Pm Im X Vm Voc • The open-circuit voltage, Voc, is the maximum voltage available from a solar cell, and this occurs at zero current. • The open-circuit voltage corresponds to the amount of forward bias on the solar cell junction due to illumination. At I=0  V= Voc

  10. Maximum power: Pm Pm X Power I Isc • Power out of a solar cell increases with voltage, reaches a maximum (Pm) and then decreases again. Im Voc Vm Pm = Im x Vm • Remember we get DC power from a solar cell

  11. Fill Factor: FF Ideal diode curve Pm I Isc • The FF is defined as the ratio of the maximum power from the actual solar cell to the maximum power from a ideal solar cell Im Vm Voc • Graphically, the FF is a measure of the "squareness" of the solar cell

  12. Efficiency: η I Isc Pm Im X Power Voc Vm • Efficiency is defined as the ratio of energy output from the solar cell to input energy from the sun. • The efficiency is the most commonly used parameter to compare the performance of one solar cell to another. • Efficiency of a cell also depends on the solar spectrum, intensity of sunlight and the temperature of the solar cell.

  14. Effect of Rs and FF Isc Medium Rs Large Rs I Voc V Characteristic resistance, Rch Normalized series resistance, rs • Slope of the I-V curve near Voc gives indication about Rs • Effect of series resistance on the FF and maximum power

  15. Effect of Rsh on FF Isc Medium Rsh I Voc V • Slope of the I-V curve near Isc gives indication about Rsh Normalized shunt resistance, rsh • Effect of series resistance on the FF and maximum power

  21. Quantum Efficiency Quantum efficiency (Q.E.) is the ratio of the number of carriers collected by the solar cell to the number of photons of a given energy incident on the solar cell. Internal quantum efficiency (IQE) refers to the efficiency with which photons that are not reflected or transmitted out of the cell can generate collectable carriers. External quantum efficiency (EQE) of a silicon solar cell includes the effect of optical losses such as transmission and reflection.
