High operating temperatures harm photovoltaic (PV) modules. The increase in temperature of the cells leads to lower open circuit voltage and higher short circuit current ultimately leading to a lower power output due to a negative thermal coefficient. Hence, lowering the temperature of commercial crystalline silicon modules during their...

In this thesis, a simulated annealing algorithm is implemented to optimize the efficiency of a tandem solar cell. The efficiency of a tandem solar cell is approximated by the current of the tandem solar cell. This current is determined by the simulation program GenPro4. Firstly, the general concepts of simulated annealing is described. After...

Concentrator Photovoltaics (CPV) employs optical elements such as mirrors to focus solar flux to a small target area with a photovoltaic (PV) receiver. CPV system design is hindered by the fact that there is no standardised workhorse model to accurately evaluate CPV topologies. The spectral irradiance standards - the backbone of PV system...
