Electrical parameters for bifacial silicon solar cell study in modelling: capacitance and space charge region width determination

I-V Characteristics for Bifacial Silicon Solar Cell under a Magnetic Field

“…A bifacial silicon solar cell with n + -p-p + structure under constant multispectral illumination and under a magnetic field is studied [1]. In this work, a MATLAB software simulation with visual interface has been developed to study the influence of a magnetic field on the I-V characteristics of the solar cell.…”

“…When the solar cell is illuminated either from front, back or simultaneously on both sides, the continuity equation related to photogenerated minority carriers' density δn u (x,B), in the base region of the cell can be expressed by the following relation [2,3]:…”

Silicon Solar Cells: Recombination and Electrical Parameters

“…Research indicates many techniques for determining electrical and recombination parameters of solar cells (S. Madougou et al 2007bMadougou et al , 2005aG. Sissoko et al 1996;S.…”

“…SZE 1981) in one side and N + -N-P + structure (or vice versa) for double sides named bifacial silicon solar cell (S. Madougou et al 2004Madougou et al , 2005aMadougou et al , 2005bMadougou et al , 2007aMadougou et al et 2007b. Silicon solar cells have all contacts on the back of the cell.…”

“…This chapter first describes the device physics of silicon solar cells using basic equations of minority carriers transport with its boundary conditions, the illumination mode and the recombination mechanisms. Then, a silicon solar cells recombination and electrical parameters are presented (S. Madougou et al 2005aMadougou et al , 2007b. Finally, some methods of determination of these parameters are described.…”
