Silicon solar cell under electromagnetic wave in steady state: effect of the telecommunication source's power of radiation

Effect of Incidence Angle Varying from 0 rad to π/2 rad and Intensity of Radio Waves on the Performance of a Silicon Solar Cell

“…Their study revealed that for a given wavelength of the monochromatic light, the open circuit voltage decreases while the short circuit photocurrent density and the leakage photocurrent density are increasing as the intensity of the electromagnetic field increases. A comparative study of the influence of electromagnetic field coming from AM and FM radio antennas on the power output and conversion efficiency of a silicon solar cell has been conducted by Zerbo et al [11]. For a given type of radio antenna, they obtained the same conclusion as for previous studies [9,10] but their study revealed that the FM radio antennas which produce low values of electromagnetic field have less influence on the solar cell than AM radio antennas.…”

“…In their studies, Zerbo et al [9][10][11], did not take into account the leakage photocurrent density and the related electric power to calculate the shunt resistance of solar cells exposed to radio waves.…”

“…• the solar cell is submitted to the action of a plane progressive monochromatic waves linearly polarized and propagating in the sense of the increasing z [9][10][11].…”

“…• the origin of space and time is chosen at the moment when the electromagnetic waves meet the solar cell [9][10][11].…”

“…• the magnetic field and the electric field of a plane progressive waves are related by the relation [9][10][11]:…”
