Reliability of III-V concentrator solar cells
III-V concentrator solar cells are starting to be commercialized. However, no complete studies about their reliability have been carried out. A review about both the accelerated ageing tests and real time tests developed till now is presented. A proposal about the required tests is also done. In this stage, the tests show that III-V concentrator cells are robust devices with MTTFs well over the...
متن کاملNovel accelerated testing method for III-V concentrator solar cells
Accelerated testing is a necessary tool in order to demonstrate the reliability of concentration photovoltaic solar cells, devices which is expected to be working not less than 25 years. Many problems arise when implementing high temperature accelerated testing in this kind of solar cells, because the high light irradiation level, at which they work, is very difficult to achieve inside a climat...
متن کاملEnhanced power conversion efficiency in InGaN-based solar cells via graded composition multiple quantum wells.
This work demonstrates the enhanced power conversion efficiency (PCE) in InGaN/GaN multiple quantum well (MQWs) solar cells with gradually decreasing indium composition in quantum wells (GQWs) toward p-GaN as absorber. The GQW can improve the fill factor from 42% to 62% and enhance the short current density from 0.8 mA/cm2 to 0.92 mA/cm2, as compares to the typical MQW sol...
متن کاملPlanar micro-optic solar concentrator.
We present a new approach to solar concentration where sunlight collected by each lens in a two-dimensional lens array is coupled into a shared, planar waveguide using localized features placed at each lens focus. This geometry yields a thin, flat profile for moderate concentration systems which may be fabricated by low-cost roll manufacture. We provide analyses of tradeoffs and show optimized ...
متن کاملFast Acquisition of the Characteristics of Silicon Concentrator Solar Cells
The characterisation of 85 rear-line-contacted silicon concentrator solar cells on one single wafer requires a fast, automated measurement system. In this paper an easy to use needle array measurement system is presented, which allows an automated sequential measurement of dark and light IV curves of all cells on one wafer. For acquiring IV curves under high illumination levels (up to 500 suns)...
