Simulation on Temperature Characteristics of Solar Cell

Abstract:

The core of the system is a solar photovoltaic cell, a solar cell to work well not only to the battery materials, structures, is also affected by the external working conditions. Effect of temperature is an important condition of the battery efficiency. In this paper, how temperature affects battery features a comprehensive theoretical study, results showed that at a temperature of 300K, as M1.5 solar spectrum, the theoretical limit of solar cell conversion efficiency of 33%, corresponding to the optimum band gap of 1.4 eV. Provide a basis for the design and experimental battery.
