Kerjakan minimal 2 dari 4 soal-soal berikut :

Exercise 4.1 Recombination in the c-Si Solar Cell

a. What types of recombination do you know?
b. What is understood by the term “dead layer” in a cell?
c. A light photon is absorbed at a depth of 140 mm and generates an electron-
hole pair. The average carrier life span is 7 ms. Will the generated electron
probably contribute to the photocurrent?

Exercise 4.2 Absorption Efficiency of a c-Si Cell

Given is a c-Si cell of thickness d=140 mm that is illuminated by light with a strength
of E0=1000 W/m2, (α=100/cm; n=3.3;λ=1000 nm).
a. How large is the penetration depth of the light?
b. How much light is reflected?
c. How much light is absorbed (assumption: rear side nonreflecting)?
d. How much light is absorbed when the rear side is mirrored and the front side
isnonreflecting?
e. How big in the previous sub-point are absorption efficiency and the spectral
sensitivity if one assumes that every electron-hole pair contributes to the
photocurrent?

Exercise 4.3 Single Diode Equivalent Circuit Diagram

a. Sketch the single-diode equivalent circuit diagram and derive the characteristic
curve equation.
b. What losses are incurred by the series resistance RS and what by the parallel
resistance RSh?
c. Sketch the characteristic curve of a solar cell for a rising series resistance RS
and explain the sequence for VOC und ISC.
d. Sketch the characteristic curve of a solar cell for a falling shunt resistance RSh
and explain the sequence for VOC and ISC.

Exercise 4.4 Spectral and Theoretical Efficiency

a. What does the term “spectral efficiency” mean and what effects lead to the fact
that it is not 100%?
b. What further losses does the “theoretical efficiency” take into account?
 c. How large is the theoretic efficiency of c-Si cells and how near have we come
to this optimum?

Exercise 4.5 Spectral Efficiency of Monochromatic Light

Assume we wish to convert monochromatic laser light into electrical energy as
efficiently as possible. We select λ=1000 nm as laser wavelength and the further data
are: E=1000 W/m2, ACell=10 cm2, m=1).
a. How large is the number NPh of photons per second that impinge on the cell
and the maximum current density jMax?
b. Determine the open circuit voltage of the cell.
c. Give the idealized fill factor of the cell.
d. How great is the theoretical efficiency of the cell?
e. Answer the previous question for a concentration factor of X=1000.
