Multijunction solar cell iso-junction dark current study

Abstract

Public reporting burden for the collection of information is estimated to average 1 hour per response, including the time for reviewing instructions, searching existing data sources, gathering and maintaining the data needed, and completing and reviewing the collection of information. Send comments regarding this burden estimate or any other aspect of this collection of information, including suggestions for reducing this burden, to Washington Headquarters Services, Directorate for Information Operations and Reports, 1215 Jefferson Davis Highway, Suite 1204, Arlington VA 22202-4302. Respondents should be aware that notwithstanding any other provision of law, no person shall be subject to a penalty for failing to comply with a collection of information if it does not display a currently valid OMB control number.

A novel approach for the modeling of advanced photovoltaic devices using the SILVACO/ATLAS virtual wafer fabrication tools

“…[3] as well as in many other papers [4][5][6]. The results are also comparable to experimental data of similar manufactured cells.…”

“…I-V curves and spectral responses were also produced from the model under AM0 and plotted. Dark current plots of the model were found to correspond to that of previously reported data [6]. Several other single junction example cells were designed and modeled, and their performance was also found to accurately resemble that of actual cell [7].…”

Multijunction Concentrator Solar Cells: Analysis and Fundamentals

“…Some investigators have proposed different methods to obtain the parameters of the subcells by making different assumptions and simplifications. Examples of extraction methods based on the SEM scheme can be found in the literature [46,55,59,[66][67][68] as can results from those based on the DEM scheme [59,[69][70][71]. It is important to note that these studies usually estimate the parameters at a particular set of operating conditions.…”

Environmental Impacts of Grid Connected High Concentrated Photovoltaic Systems Adapted for Peak Load Minimization in Hot Climate

“…Depending on concentration factor X, the system can be classified as low concentration (X < 10 Suns), medium (10 < X < 100 Suns), high (100 < X < 2000 Suns) and ultrahigh (X > 2000 Suns). Modeling multi-junction solar cells efficiency is a crucial process for energy calculation of large concentration photovoltaic [11] and the double diode model [12] [13]. Nevertheless, such techniques identify the parameters at specific running conditions and not for the entire range of practical conditions restricting using these models.…”
