“…Various correlations between the temperature of a PV cell and its used materials have appeared in the literature. [104][105][106][107][108] Also, it is concluded that the geographical location is influencing the efficiency of PV cells due to changing gained irradiance and therefore changing the temperature of the cell. 109,110 The results of some researches show that the PV panels are less sensitive to the temperature than individual PV cells.…”

Generally, first and second generations of photovoltaic (PV) cells are including mono‐crystalline silicon, amorphous silicon, and dye‐synthesized solar cells. Investigating the electrical current behavior of these sorts of PV cells shows that a modified multi‐ or single diode(s) model with shunt and series resistance can use as a good choice in a specific range of the current. For other constructions such as multi‐junction PV cells that consist of the third generation, the network models are the best choice. Also, the network models can be used for the first and second generations to improve the validity of model in the wider range of current. In addition to existing generations, PV array and modules, which are serial and parallel arrays of PV cells, will lead to a higher current or voltage. The main disadvantage of using these sorts of systems is their more space occupation. This problem can be solved by using the concentrated PV (CPV) systems that focus the received irradiation on a smaller surface. By considering the generated current, voltage, power, temperature effect, and financial analysis, it seems third‐generation PV systems are more efficient among all the generations. Finally, by considering the ratio of generated current on the occupied space, the CPV systems will be a better choice.

“…Recent focus in UAV design has been on integration of solar modules with wingspan in order to increase the endurance 7 8 9 10 11 . However, in order to generate sufficient power for extended flight time through solar cell modules, large surface area is required to maximize the output power and dissipate heat arising during cyclic operation 12 13 14 15 . Conventional solar modules exhibit 0.4% decrease in output power per 1 °C rise in temperature beyond the threshold operating temperature 16 .…”

Continued emphasis on development of thermal cooling systems is being placed that can cycle low grade heat. Examples include solar powered unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) and data storage servers. The power efficiency of solar module degrades at elevated temperature, thereby, necessitating the need for heat extraction system. Similarly, data centres in wireless computing system are facing increasing efficiency challenges due to high power consumption associated with managing the waste heat. We provide breakthrough in addressing these problems by developing thermo-magneto-electric generator (TMEG) arrays, composed of soft magnet and piezoelectric polyvinylidene difluoride (PVDF) cantilever. TMEG can serve dual role of extracting the waste heat and converting it into useable electricity. Near room temperature second-order magnetic phase transition in soft magnetic material, gadolinium, was employed to obtain mechanical vibrations on the PVDF cantilever under small thermal gradient. TMEGs were shown to achieve high vibration frequency at small temperature gradients, thereby, demonstrating effective heat transfer.

The photon energy (hm) of solar radiation in visible wavelengths creates ionization in the depletion region of the n-p junction of solar cells for generating direct (dc) power (current × voltage) to meet the basic high-grade energy demand of human beings in underdeveloped regions for rural applications. Rural applications include streetlights, calculators, water pumping, and mobile charging, etc.
