Abstract:

A detailed numerical model of the electronic properties of hydrogenated amorphous silicon has been developed and shown to be a useful tool for the analysis of the performance and optimization of the design of solar cells. The method of simulation involves solving Poissons's equation, and the electron and hole continuity equations, in conjunction with the transport equations for the electrons and holes. From the solutions of these equations we obtained the electrostatic potential, the electron and hole concentrations and the current densities. A set of realistic material parameters has been use

Abstract:

The fabrication of low cost, high efficiency solar cells is imperative in competing with existing energy technologies. Many research groups have explored using III-V materials and thin-film technologies to create high efficiency cells; however, the materials and manufacturing processes are very costly as compared to monocrystalline silicon (Si) solar cells. Since commercial Si solar cells typically have efficiencies in the range of 17-19%, techniques such as surface texturing, depositing a surface-passivating film, and creating multi-junction Si cells are used to improve the efficiency without

Abstract:

The main goal of this thesis was to simulate a solar cell with the symbolic manipulation tool Maple and discuss the strength and weaknesses of using Maple instead of the already known simulation program PC1D. This was done mainly by solving the three essential differential equations governing the current density and excess electron and hole densities in the solar cell. This could be done easily by using known simplifications especially the low injection assumption. However it was also a success without using this particular simplification but the solutions had to be achieved using a numerical

Abstract:

The optical properties of metal nanoparticles have been investigated by simulation and experimental techniques. The aim of this investigation was to identify how to use metal nanoparticles to improve light-trapping in silicon solar cells. To do this we require nanoparticles that exhibit a high scattering efficiency and low absorption (i.e. high radiative efficiency) at near-infrared wavelengths. The simulation results identified Ag, Au, Cu and Al as potential candidates for use with silicon solar cells. The optical properties of Ag, Au and Cu nanoparticles are very similar above 700 nm.

As the efficiency potential for the industrial P-type Al-BSF silicon solar cell reaches its limit, new solar cell technologies are required to continue the pursuit of higher efficiency solar power at lower cost. It has been demonstrated in literature that among possible alternative solar cell structures, cells featuring a local BSF (LBSF) have demonstrated some of the highest efficiencies seen to date. Implementation of this technology in industry, however, has been limited due to the cost involved in implementing the photolithography procedures required. Recent advances in solar cell doping t

Abstract:

Thin film silicon on low temperature glass substrates is currently seen as the best path toreduce the $/W cost of photovoltaic (PV) modules. However, producing thin film polysilicon, on glass, is an ongoing research challenge. Laser crystallisation of a-Si is one of the possible methods. Typically excimer (XMR) lasers are used for laser crystallisation. This thesis introduces the copper vapour laser (CVL) as a viable alternative for thin film photovoltaic applications. The CVL, like the XMR, is a high powered, pulsed laser. However, the CVL has higher pulse rates (4-20kHz), better beam qualit

Abstract:

Standard crystalline silicon photovoltaic (PV) modules are designed to continuously convert solar energy into electricity for 25 years. However, the continual generation of electricity by the PV modules throughout their designed service life has been a concern. The key challenge has been the untimely fatigue failure of solder interconnections of solar cells in the modules due to accelerated thermo-mechanical degradation. The goal of this research is to provide adequate information for proper design of solar cell solder joint against fatigue failure through the study of cyclic thermo-mechanical

Abstract:

Since the first commercial silicon carbide (SiC) transistor was released, the interest in SiC has grown exponentially [1]. The wide energy band gap, high critical electric field and thermal conductivity of silicon carbide allow it to withstand higher voltage/current gains than conventional semiconductor materials [2]. The electrical properties of SiC enable integrated devices and circuits to operate at higher voltages and temperatures. One of the most attractive applications for SiC is in inverters for photovoltaic systems, where switching time is of great importance. This thesis presents the

Abstract:

This thesis is an expansive and in-depth discourse on the textured front surface of silicon solar cells. Systematic and comprehensive analyses of both optical and recombination behaviours are undertaken to arrive at a thorough understanding of the impacts of surface texture. These analyses provide the basis for the development of several novel methods for the precise simulation of photovoltaic devices and modules. A rigorous approach to the optics of surface texture, incorporating polarisation effects, is shown to advance the accuracy of standard reflectance-absorptance-transmittance analyses.

During the p-PECVD process the pulsing frequency was varied from 0.2 to 50 kHz at 50% duty cycle. Approximately 15% drop in the deposition rate was observed for the samples fabricated in p-PECVD compared to cw-PECVD. The optimum crystallinit

Compared to wafer based solar cells, thin film solar cells greatly reduce material cost and thermal budget due to low temperature process.
