“…Erel concluded that the short-circuit current and the open-circuit voltage decreased under the simultaneous effects of both electric and magnetic fields. Drapalik et al [2] studied crystalline photovoltaic cells as both receivers and emitters of electromagnetic waves. As receivers, they concluded that the reception of electromagnetic radiation depends linearly on the cell area, at least at low frequencies (below 10 MHz).…”

One-dimensional study of both electronic and electrical parameters of a silicon solar cell in the presence or not of an electric field, a magnetic field, or an electromagnetic field does not take into account the grain size and the grain boundary recombination velocity. A three-dimensional study, on the contrary, takes those factors into account.However, the three-dimensional study poses the problem of the attenuation of the wave in the grain of the polycrystalline solar cell as well as the issue of finding the expressions of its components. This study aimed to solve these issues by considering radio waves, which are becoming more and more present in our environment via telecommunication masts.We first obtained the expressions of both the electric field and magnetic field in a grain of a polycrystalline silicon solar cell by solving the dispersion equation. Then we investigated the evolution of the radio wave into the grain by analyzing the behavior of the exponential coefficient that appeared in the expressions of both the electric field and the magnetic field. The study has shown that the attenuation of the radio wave can be neglected through the polycrystalline silicon solar grain and by extension through the polycrystalline silicon solar cell.

“…But it seems that photovoltaic modules and the silicon solar cells of these photovoltaic modules are sensitive to the electromagnetic field generated by electromagnetic emission sources. So, interaction between photovoltaic modules and electromagnetic fields or radiation have to be taken into account [2].…”

In this work, a one dimensional approach is presented for modelling the effect of the incidence angle, varying from 0 rad to π/2 rad, and the intensity of radio waves on the performance of a polycrystalline silicon solar cell under constant multispectral illumination. By solving the continuity equation in steady state, we derived the expression of the density of excess minority carriers, the photocurrent density, the photovoltage, the electric power and their dependence on the incidence angle and the intensity of the electromagnetic field is analyzed. Using the electric power curves versus junction dynamic velocity we determined the electric power lost at the junction, the maximum electric power and we calculated the conversion efficiency for various incidence angle and intensity of the electromagnetic field. The leakage photocurrent density, deduced from the photocurrent density curves versus junction dynamic velocity, and the electric power lost at the junction allowed us to calculate the shunt resistance of the solar cell according to the incidence angle and the intensity of the electromagnetic field. The numerical data show the negative effect of radios waves on the performance of a silicon solar cell.

The low pass characteristic of a photovoltaic device in the power converting voltage range was investigated by impedance spectroscopy and signal response measurements. For a c‐Si solar cell it was found that the bandwidth varies with bias voltage, illumination intensity and circuit termination. At low intensities or voltages below +0.15 V the bandwidth becomes less than 100 Hz when the cell was terminated with a high resistive load. As a consequence reliable data acquisition of the open circuit voltage transient for a fast intensity variation (≥100 mWcm–2/s) is limited to voltages above +0.35 V.
