Impact of illumination and metal impurities on parameters of monosilicon solar cells

Obtention of solar cell parameters, through convergence of iterative cycles. Part 1: Theoretical analysis and cycles proposal

“…These simulations were done on the [0 V, 1 V] range, using the same C program reported in [2] . Laboratory fabricated solar cells usually function in this voltage range [14] , [34] , [35] , [36] , [37] , [38] , [39] , [40] , [41] , [42] , [43] , [44] , [45] , [46] , [47] , [48] , [49] , [50] , [51] , [52] , [53] , [54] . Briefly, the C program solved equation 1 in [2] within an accuracy of 10 −15 A for each voltage.…”

“…For simplicity purposes and to facilitate comparison with the deduced solar parameters, all simulation parameters (except n ) were chosen as power of 10, i.e., the simulation parameters were , , mA and μA. Both and are three orders of magnitude larger than and , respectively, which is usually the case found in second generation solar cells [14] , [34] , [35] , [36] , [37] , [38] , [39] , [40] , [41] , [42] , [43] , [44] , [45] , [46] , [47] , [48] , [49] , [50] , [51] , [52] , [53] , [54] . The value of n was chosen , which is a value in the range of 2 to 3, which is also the usual case found in second generation solar cells [14] , [34] , [35] , [36] , [37] , [38] , [39] , [40] , [41] , [42] ,…”

Performance and Matching Band Structure Analysis of Tandem Organic Solar Cells Using Machine Learning Approaches

“…Organic solar cells (OSCs) are the potentially novel photovoltaic technologies that pose potential advantages, such as low‐cost production, light weight, mechanical flexibility, solution processability, and scalable low‐temperature fabrication . Accordingly, tandem OSCs have been introduced as an effective method to improve the power conversion efficiency (PCE) of OSCs by stacking two or more sub‐cells with a complementary absorption range .…”

Obtention of solar cell parameters, through convergence of iterative cycles. Part 2: Application to experimental current-voltage measurements

“…In another study, the impact of metal impurities and illumination on the solar cell parameters prepared on mono-silicon wafers was reported by Li et al [29] . The same labelling as in [29] is used in this article.…”
