Comparative study of maximum power point tracking algorithmsProgress in Photovoltaics: Research and Applications - Tập 11 Số 1 - Trang 47-62 - 2003
D. P. Hohm, Michael Ropp
AbstractMaximum power point trackers (MPPTs) play an important role in photovoltaic (PV) power systems because they maximize the power output from a PV system for a given set of conditions, and therefore maximize the array efficiency. Thus, an MPPT can minimize the overall system cost. MPPTs find and maintain operation at the maximum power point, using an MPPT algo...... hiện toàn bộ
Ideal efficiency of monolithic, series‐connected multijunction solar cellsProgress in Photovoltaics: Research and Applications - Tập 10 Số 5 - Trang 323-329 - 2002
Irwin Tobias, A. Ĺuque
AbstractTwo‐terminal, monolithic tandem solar cells represent the most interesting implementation of tThe multijunction photovoltaic array capable of very high efficiency. Radiative coupling among the cells, and between the cells and the substrate, along with series interconnection are features present in this approach. Their effect on efficiency is quantified for ...... hiện toàn bộ
Thin film solar cell with 8.4% power conversion efficiency using an earth‐abundant Cu2ZnSnS4 absorberProgress in Photovoltaics: Research and Applications - Tập 21 Số 1 - Trang 72-76 - 2013
Byungha Shin, Oki Gunawan, Yu Zhu, N. A. Bojarczuk, S. Jay Chey, Supratik Guha
ABSTRACTUsing vacuum process, we fabricated Cu2ZnSnS4 solar cells with 8.4% efficiency, a number independently certified by an external, accredited laboratory. This is the highest efficiency reported for pure sulfide Cu2ZnSnS4 prepared by any method. Consistent with literature, the ...... hiện toàn bộ
Current transport studies of amorphous n/p junctions and its application in a‐Si:H/HIT‐type tandem cellsProgress in Photovoltaics: Research and Applications - Tập 24 Số 1 - Trang 52-58 - 2016
Youngseok Lee, Vinh Ai Dao, S.M. Iftiquar, Sangho Kim, Junsin Yi
AbstractThis paper presents an understanding of the fundamental carrier transport mechanism in hydrogenated amorphous silicon (a‐Si:H)‐based n/p junctions. These n/p junctions are, then, used as tunneling and recombination junctions (TRJ) in tandem solar cells, which were constructed by stacking the a‐Si:H‐based solar cell on the heterojunction with intrinsic thin ...... hiện toàn bộ
Rapid annealing of reactively sputtered precursors for Cu2ZnSnS4 solar cellsProgress in Photovoltaics: Research and Applications - Tập 22 Số 1 - Trang 10-17 - 2014

ABSTRACTCu2ZnSnS4 (CZTS) is a promising thin‐film absorber material that presents some interesting challenges in fabrication when compared with Cu(In,Ga)Se2. We introduce a two‐step process for fabrication of CZTS films, involving reactive sputtering of a Cu‐Zn‐Sn‐S precursor followed by rapid annealing...... hiện toàn bộ
Highly efficient dye‐sensitized solar cells using phenothiazine derivative organic dyesProgress in Photovoltaics: Research and Applications - Tập 18 Số 8 - Trang 573-581 - 2010

AbstractWe report the growth and characterization of improved efficiency wide‐bandgap ZnO/CdS/CuGaSe2 thin‐film solar cells. The CuGaSe2 absorber thickness was intentionally decreased to better match depletion widths indicated by drive‐level capacitance profiling data. A total‐area efficiency of 9·5% was achieved with a fil...... hiện toàn bộ
