“…Solar and wind are powering this revolution of clean energy. The energy emitted by the sun is known to be clean and available to earth 24 h a day for free [2]. Solar cells are providing 1.7% of the global electricity demand, and the generation capacity is expected to reach 1 TW by the year 2025 [3,4].…”

Tracking the maximum output power of a photovoltaic (PV) cell is an important problem to harvest more energy at different weather and load conditions. This paper presents the design and simulation of a robust direct adaptive controller (RDAC) for maximum power point tracking (MPPT) device based on boost converter topology. A mathematical model is developed, and a suitable RDAC is designed for MPPT device, and simulations are performed using MATLAB/Simulink to verify the controller’s robustness at varying operating conditions. The real-time irradiance and temperature data are used on an hourly basis to test the suggested MPPT adaptive controller for a typical sunny day in summer and winter. The simulation results show that the RDAC performs excellent tracking under varying conditions such as irradiance, temperature, load, boost converter inductance, and capacitance.

“…Global production of photovoltaics (PV) has been expanding drastically in the past decades, moving from 202 MW in 1999, 17 GW in 2010, until the recent production over 78 GW in 2016 [29][30][31]. About 92% of the commercial modules are made from Si while thin film modules contributed 8% in the market share of which <1% for amorphous silicon (a-Si) modules, 5% for Cadmium Telluride (CdTe) modules, and 2% for CIGS modules [32,33]. Considering the 8% market share in 78 GW global PV production, the total annual production for thin film solar cell will be~10.26 GW.…”

Copper Indium Gallium Selenide- (CIGS-) based solar cells have become one of the most promising candidates among the thin film technologies for solar power generation. The current record efficiency of CIGS has reached 22.6% which is comparable to the crystalline silicon- (c-Si-) based solar cells. However, material properties and efficiency on small area devices are crucial aspects to be considered before manufacturing into large scale. The process for each layer of the CIGS solar cells, including the type of substrate used and deposition condition for the molybdenum back contact, will give a direct impact to the efficiency of the fabricated device. In this paper, brief introduction on the production, efficiency, etc. of a-Si, CdTe, and CIGS thin film solar cells and c-Si solar cells are first reviewed, followed by the recent progress of substrates. Different deposition techniques’ influence on the properties of molybdenum back contact for CIGS are discussed. Then, the formation and thickness influence factors of the interfacial MoSe2 layer are reviewed; its role in forming ohmic contact, possible detrimental effects, and characterization of the barrier layers are specified. Scale-up challenges/issues of CIGS module production are also presented to give an insight into commercializing CIGS solar cells.

“…Данные материалы могут быть использованы и уже используются при разработке приборов микроэлектроники, оптоэлектроники, аналитической биомедицины, эмиссионных катодов, зондов для сканирующей туннельной микроскопии, высокоэффективных преобразователей солнечной энергии и т. д. [1][2][3]. Гетероструктры на основе фосфидных соединений являются одними из наиболее исследуемых, так как их оптический диапазон охватывает как инфракрасную область излучения (например, твердые растворы на основе InAsP), так и видимый и ультрафиолетовый диапазоны (GaAsP, AlP и др.)…”

Приведены данные по росту и исследованию свойств наноструктур типа " вставка InAsP, внедренная в InP нитевидный нанокристалл", выращенных на поверхности Si(111) методом молекулярно-пучковой эпитаксии с использованием золота в качестве катализатора. Установлено, что возможно получение практически 100% когерентных нитевидных нанокристаллов с поверхностной плотностью, варьируемой в широком интервале, и установлена взаимосвязь между структурными и оптическими свойствами выращенных нитевидных нанокристаллов. Показано, что исследуемые нитевидные нанокристаллы являются чистыми с точки зрения кристаллографической фазы (вюрцит). Предлагаемая технология открывает новые возможности по интеграции прямозонных соединений A III B V и кремния.
