“…[104] state that the generation capacity is directly related to the estimated generation, which includes the location, climatic conditions, position, and solar irradiation. It is also associated with technical parameters, which consist of qualified workers, equipment, efficiency, durability, power, positioning, shading, and inclination of photovoltaic modules [105]. The respondents pointed out that system efficiency is one of the most determining elements for measuring technical parameters with a relevance of 84%.…”

The diffusion of photovoltaic distributed generation is relevant for addressing the political, economic, and environmental issues in the electricity sector. However, the proliferation of distributed generation brings new administrative and operational challenges for the sustainability of electric power utilities. Electricity distributors operate in economies of scale, and the high photovoltaic penetration means that these companies have economic and financial impacts, in addition to influencing the migration of other consumers. Thus, this paper aims to systematically identify and evaluate critical factors and indicators that may influence electricity distributors in predicting their consumers' adoption of photovoltaic technology, which were subjected to the analysis of 20 industry experts. Results show that the cost of electricity, generation capacity, and cost of the photovoltaic systems are the most relevant indicators, and it is possible to measure a considerable part of them using the internal data of the electricity distributors. The study contributes to the understanding of the critical factors for the forecast of the adoption of consumers to distributed photovoltaic generation, to assist the distribution network operators in the decision making, and the distribution sustainability. Also, it establishes the theoretical, political, and practical implications for the Brazilian scenario and developing countries.

“…Katayama et al [7] applied several types of failure and degradation in photovoltaic cells, such as mechanical stress, interconnect ribbon disconnection, and PID, to photovoltaic modules. Herná ndez-Callejo et al [8] reviewed the general operation and the operation of hybrid systems, as well as the power quality. Quan et al [9] proposed a noncontact, fast and effective defect detection method for photovoltaic cells that uses a combination of image processing and compressive sensing techniques.…”

The production of electricity based on the conversion of the sunlight by photocells crystalline silicon is the most way using on technological and industrial plan. As a consequence, the development of the applications of energy production requires cells with high efficiency and low cost. We propose two models using either one or two exponentials allowing to simulate the characteristic current-voltage of a solar cell. The goal of our work is to present a comparative study between the model theoretical and experimental aiming at the improvement of the solar cell efficiency. We also determine the parameters of the solar cell from the current-voltage curve. Additionally, we provide a justification for using the two exponential models for improving the cell efficiency. The model with two exponential allowing to investigate the phenomena of recombination in zone of diffusion and space charge in the areas quasi-neutrals of the transmitter and the base. This study underlines the insufficiency of the model to exponential generally used by showing that it leads to the design of the ideal solar cells whereas structures characterized by a factor of quality greater outcome with high efficiency.

Resumo A conversão fotovoltaica de energia é uma área de pesquisa muito ativa devido à necessidade de ampliar a participação das fontes de energia renováveis na matriz energética global. Os esforços de pesquisa vão desde a modelagem de dispositivos fotovoltaicos a partir de princípios físicos fundamentais ou fenomenologias, passando pelo desenvolvimento e caracterização de novos materiais e dispositivos aplicáveis na conversão fotovoltaica e indo até os estudos de impacto ambiental e aspectos econômicos. No presente trabalho, utilizando-se do modelo de sistema de dois níveis acoplado a um campo de fótons, apresentam-se os princípios físicos da conversão fotovoltaica de energia. Com isso, além de servir de rápido guia para os pesquisadores e estudantes no campo da conversão fotovoltaica, o problema spin-bóson é utilizado de forma pedagógica para servir como um exercício contextualizado de mecânica quântica e física dos semicondutores.
