In this chapter, we introduce the physic principle and applications of bifacial PV technology. We present different bifacial PV cell and module technologies as well as investigate the advantages of using bifacial PV technology in the field. We describe the measurement and modeling of Albedo, which is one of the important factors for the energy...

A soft deposition method for incorporating surface plasmon resonant metal nanoparticles within photovoltaic devices was studied. This self-assembly method provides excellent control over both nanoparticle size and surface coverage. Films of spherical Ag nanoparticles with diameter of ?100 nm were fabricated by depositing size-selected aerosols...

In this work we focus on texturing Al substrate in order to employ the modulated surface texturing approach for thin-film, flexible, micromorph solar cells. We deployed two different methods to induce micro-craters in Al foil, i) bare Al etching by KOH and ii) AZO sacrificial layer etched in KOH. After modelling the etching kinetics of KOH on...

Electrical simulations show that the dipole formed at (i)a-Si:H/MoOx interface can explain electrical performance degradation. We experimentally manipulate this interface by a plasma treatment (PT) to mitigate the dipole strength without harming the optical response. The optimal PT + MoOx stack results in strongly improved electrical...

This paper presents the fundamental study on the relationship between LED light sources and the performance of solar cell as receivers in visible light communication (VLC) links. Here, different colors of LEDs are modulated with a sinusoidal signal, and the bandwidth of the VLC system based on various c-Si PV architectures is characterized at...

The use of transition metal oxides for the selective carrier contact in the crystalline silicon solar cells technology is rising to interest for the excellent optoelectrical properties of these materials whose implementation, however, can result in lousy performing cells due to an S-shaped electrical characteristic. In this paper, we fabricated...

Thesis about the charge carrier dynamics in PbSe and PbS semiconductor nanocrystals. The main goal of the research is to assess their potential as new materials for high-efficiency solar cells. The nanocrystals under investigation consist of PbSe quantum dots (Ch 2), PbSe nanorods (Ch 3 & 4) and PbS nanosheets (Ch 6), and the spectroscopic...

Nano-textured interfaces between two media of different refractive indices scatter light. The angular distribution and the intensity of the scattered light are deter- mined by the geometry of the nano-textures and the difference of the refractive indices of the two media. Thin-film silicon solar cells (TFSSC), which convert sunlight directly...

Solar energy can fulfil mankind’s energy needs and secure a more balanced distribution of primary sources of energy. Wafer-based and thin-film silicon solar cells dominate todays’ photovoltaic market because silicon is a non-toxic and abundant material and high conversion efficiencies are achieved with silicon-based solar cells. To stay...

Thin film CIGS solar cells and individual layers within these solar cells have been tested in order to assess their long term stability. Alongside with the execution of standard tests, in which elevated temperatures and humidity levels are used, the solar cells have also been exposed to a combination of elevated temperature and humidity and...

Space charges in two heterojunctions (i.e., TiO2/CuInS2 and TiO2/QD-CdSe) are studied by means of impedance spectroscopy and capacitance studies. Several lattice defects are found. When applied in solar cells, the defects may have a negative effect on the efficiency. Therefore, it is important to know the nature of the defects. In this thesis a...

Zhang, D. (author)
It has been predicted that due to the population growth the energy demand is increasing faster and faster. It has been well recognized that depleting fossil-fuel resources will not fulfill the energy need of the future world. Not to mention the problem of global warming caused by its combustion, and of energy security as a result of geopolitical...

Due increasing energy use per capita and increasing world population, the world faces an energy-crisis. However, the energy required to solve it is abundantly available: solar energy. The technology to convert this energy to electricity, solar cell technology, is well-developed. The technical issue is how to manufacture solar cells at such a...

The photogeneration and mobility of charge carriers in organic thin films, including bulk heterojunctions (BHJs), have been studied with the time resolved microwave photo-conductance technique (TRMC). The TRMC technique allows the electrodeless measurement of the photoconductance with nanosecond time resolution. The research focuses on the way...

Because of an increasing need for energy, exhaustion of conventional energy sources and pollution of the environment, the development of renewable energy supplies becomes increasingly important. Solar cells can play an important role to meet these demands, since they can directly convert solar light into electricity. Conventional solar cells...
