Effective surface passivation is crucial for improving the performance of crystalline silicon solar cells. Wang et al. develop a sulfurization strategy that reduces the interfacial states and induces a surface electrical field at the same time. The approach significantly enhances the hole selectivity and, thus, the performance of solar cells.
EPJ Photovolt. In this work, a fully coupled opto-electro-thermal model for crystalline silicon solar cells is presented. Based on a detailed set of material properties, the developed model allows us to predict and analyse the solar cell behaviour under real operating conditions in a standalone framework.
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.
Two basic design parameters are the band gap of the top cell and the thickness of the silicon wafer for the bottom cell, which are related. To unravel and quantify this intricate relationship, first, we use our simulation platform for the STC, and then, we run it for the whole globe.
A contactless method for current-voltage testing of silicon solar cells is proposed. It may reduce cell breakage and costs. It may improve line throughput and light homogeneity and gives extra information. The method combines four contactless measurement techniques. The proof of principle of the method is successfully demonstrated for 3 cell types.
Silicon solar cells are designed to efficiently absorb a large part of solar photons but for most of them convert only a limited proportion of sunlight into electricity.
The influence of the solar cell temperature on the absorptance of silicon is depicted in Figure B.1. As a consequence of the temperature dependence of the complex refractive index of silicon [ 24 ], which mainly reflects the shift of the band gap energy, absorption increases with temperature.
