“…The current-voltage (I-V) and power-voltage (P-V) characteristic curve are presented in Figure 3 and Figure 4 for various solar cell's temperature values taking: 298 K, 310 K, 320 K and 330 K. It is noted in Figure 3 that, with the temperature increasing, the short-circuit photocurrent (I sc ) and the photo voltage (V oc ) increases and decreases, respectively as shown in [23]. Figure 4 shows that, the Power-Photovoltage (P-V) characteristics curve at different temperatures has the same behavior as the one found in [6] and can be used to determine the maximum solar cell power [6] and the "knee" of characteristic I-V curve as shown in [6].…”

“…It is obvious that the solar cell temperature plays a key role in the solar cell performance as shown in [23]. This is explained by the fact that, solar cell temperature variation affects the bandgap (E g ), the reverse saturation current (I 0 ), the ideality factor (n), the parasitic resistance which are the shunt (R sh ) and the series resistance (R s ).…”

We report the study of the temperature dependance of the performance electronic parameters of an N-P solar cell by considering as model, the columnar cylindrical orientation associated to the dynamic junction velocity (SF) concept. We presented the photocurrent-photovoltage (I-V) and Power-photovoltage (P-V) characteristic curves. The short-circuit photocurrent (I sc ), the open circuit photovoltage (U oc ), the fill factor (FF) and the efficiency (η) are linearly dependent on the temperature. The temperature coefficients (T-coefficient) relative to the short-circuit, open-circuit photovoltage and efficiency are calculated and the comparison with data from the literature showed the accuracy of the considered model.

“…In the case of mono-Si cells, the temperature dependence of the mono-Si PV cell has been investigated. [17][18][19][20][21][22][23][24][25][26][27][28][29][30][31][32] The TC of V oc is considered to be closely related to the decrease in the bandgap of Si with increasing temperature. However, the experimentally measured TC of V oc (−0.4%=°C) of the PV module is greater than that of the Si bandgap by one order, i.e., 0.0405%=°C.…”

The temperature dependences of monocrystalline silicon (mono-Si), interdigitated back-contact (IBC), passivated emitter and rear cell (PERC), silicon heterojunction (SHJ), and multicrystalline silicon (multi-Si) photovoltaic (PV) modules are estimated. Their characteristics such as temperature coefficients (TCs) for the maximum power (P max ), open-circuit voltage (V oc ), and efficiency are measured. IBC, PERC, SHJ, mono-Si, and multi-Si exhibit TCs at 25°C of P max and efficiency of %0.378, %0.404 to %0.373, %0.279, %0.432 to %0.415, and %0.516%/°C, respectively. IBC, PERC, SHJ, mono-Si, and multi-Si exhibit TCs at 25°C of V oc of %0.267, %0.269 to %0.263, %0.218, %0.312 to %0.306, and %0.334%/°C, respectively. Thus, IBC, PERC, and SHJ show weaker temperature dependences than mono-Si and multi-Si. The efficiencies of IBC, PERC, and SHJ at 25°C are 19.00, 18.81 to 19.25,and 21.40%, whereas those of mono-Si and multi-Si are 15.84 to 17.26 and 15.54%, respectively. Thus, IBC, PERC, and SHJ are more efficient than mono-Si and multi-Si in the temperature range higher than 25°C.

“…An advantage of the chromatic selectivity that holograms offer is the possibility of eliminating the non-desired wavelengths, such as infrared, by diffracting that range with a very poor efficiency. This prevents the photovoltaic cell from overheating, which causes a performance decrease on the cell [3,4].…”

Volume Holographic Optical Elements (HOEs) present interesting characteristics for photovoltaic applications as they can select spectrum for concentrating the target bandwidth and avoiding non-desired wavelengths, which can cause the decrease of the performance on the cell, for instance by overheating it. Volume HOEs have been recorded on Bayfol HX photopolymer to test the suitability of this material for solar concentrating photovoltaic systems. The HOEs were recorded at 532 nm and provided a dynamic range, reaching close to 100% efficiency at 800 nm. The diffracted spectrum had a FWHM of 230 nm when illuminating at Bragg angle. These characteristics prove HOEs recorded on Bayfol HX photopolymer are suitable for concentrating solar light onto photovoltaic cells sensitive to that wavelength range.
