The effect of the front contact sheet resistance on solar cell performance
The transparent top contact layer of a solar cell is a distributed resistance that cannot be easily represented mathematically. We have used a finite element model to calculate the current distribution in this transparent layer. The calculation gives the voltage drop along the layer as well as the resulting reduction in the current generated in the active layer of the solar cell. IV curves gene...
متن کاملNano-Engineering of Hybrid Organic Heterojunctions with Carbon Nanotubes to Improve Photovoltaic Performance
Organic-inorganic hybrid photovoltaics are beginning to show significant promise as a low cost highly efficient route towards renewable energy generation. Of the hybrid architectures available, carbon nanotube incorporated organic photovoltaics is considered to be among the most promising. Herein, the optical and electronic effects of localizing multiwalled carbon nanotubes in the donor polymer...
متن کاملEffects of Sensitization with Natural Pigments on the Performance of Dye-sensitized Solar Cell (DSSC)
Three natural pigments including wild iris, black pomegranate bark and black grapes were used as sensitizer in dye sensitized solar cells (DSSCs) based on TiO2 nanoparticles. The results showed that the DSSC made of black pomegranate bark was more efficient than the other cells due to its strong bonding with TiO2 nanoparticles. Longer electron lifetime, lower electron recombination, and lower...
متن کاملExperimental Investigation of Thermal Performance in an Advanced Solar Collector with Spiral Tube
This paper reports the thermal performance of a new cylindrical solar collector based on an experimental investigation with this difference that instead of the collector tube with absorbent coating, coil into a spiral copper tube is placed in the center of the collector. The spiral shape of the tube, heat transfer without disruption or increase the heat transfer area, is increasing. In this cas...
متن کاملImproving the performance of cadmium telluride solar cell (CdTe) with different buffer layers
In this paper, the performance of the buffer layer of Cadmium Telluride (CdTe) thin film solar cell was optimized using SCAPS software. At first, five different buffer layers including CdS, In2S3, ZnO, ZnSe and ZnS with variable thicknesses from 10 to 100 nm have been replaced in the structure of the solar cell and it has been observed. As the thickness of the buffer layer is increased, the eff...
