| description |
This research work presents the improvement of photovoltaic cell characteristics above
room temperature. The effect of temperature on different characteristics of the
photovoltaic cell has been analyzed mathematically. Among the characteristics of
photovoltaic cell first of all, the light transmission and absorption characteristics were
investigated. Then the open circuit voltage, short circuit current and the output power
characteristics of the photovoltaic cell were investigated. Finally the effect of
temperature on the rate of change of all these characteristics was analyzed using Si and
GaAs in the active layer of the photovoltaic cell. The numerical results obtained were
compared. The comparison results revealed that the absorption characteristics, open
circuit voltage, short circuit current and the output power have been increased but the
variation of these characteristics have been reduced significantly by using GaAs.
Therefore GaAs can be considered as the best alternative material to fabricate solar cell
in upcoming decades. |
