Abstract:The present paper focuses on the investigation and improvement of the electrical performance of photovoltaic mono-crystalline silicon solar cells. Where, temperature effect was studied in details, where cells loss were observed, analyzed, and several trials to reduce its value were investigated applying passive and active aluminum heat sinks. Also, introduction of thermoelectric generators was proved to pronouncedly enhance the cells performances. The dependences of the opencircuit voltage, maximum output powe… Show more
