What determines the electrical performance of a photovoltaic (PV) solar cell?
The electrical performance of a photovoltaic (PV) silicon solar cell is described by its current–voltage (I–V) character-istic curve, which is in turn determined by device and material properties.
Are crystalline silicon solar cells efficient under varying temperatures?
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.
Why is silicon a good material for a photovoltaic cell?
One more characteristic that really influence the decision of using silicon over any other kinds of materials mentioned above is its non-hazardous properties. As silicon is a non-toxic material, it has very low effect on the environment. These all characteristic of silicon makes it worth to be used in the photovoltaic cell.
How to improve the efficiency of a single crystalline silicon solar cell?
The main motivation of this research work is to improve the efficiency of a single crystalline silicon solar cell. This has been achieved by reducing surface reflection as well as increasing the effective surface area of the solar cell by making surface modifications using Reactive Ion Etching (RIE).
Why are solar cells based on silicon?
It is more common for solar cells to be silicon-based due to a plentiful supply of silicon on earth and to a well-established manufacturing process . A single crystalline silicon solar cell forms a single p-n junction diode. The reflectivity of the silicon surface is quite high.
Why do polycrystalline solar cells have low output current?
This, in effect, increases the overall resistance of the cell and as a result, the output current is low as compared to a single-crystal silicon cell, where there are no grain boundaries and there is an uninhibited flow of electrons. This overall decreases the efficiency of the polycrystalline solar cell.
