Assessment of integrated solar ultraviolet radiation by PM-355 detectors

The increase in environmental solar UV radiation due to depletion of ozone layer is a recent challenge to human health (skin cancer and eye effects) in countries having clear skies. Therefore, applying integrated, passive and inexpensive techniques to assess solar UV radiation is very much essential. Measurements of environmental solar UV radiation in Dhahran, Saudi Arabia area were carried out for a period of two months in the summer period in 1996 using two techniques in parallel namely: passive nuclear track detectors and active solar UV radiometers. Some of the nuclear track detectors were mounted in different conditions such as: under shadow band, on solar tracking mechanism following the solar rays. Others were mounted on perpendicular, tilted and horizontal surfaces in sunlight. All detectors were attached to a wooden background of the same thickness (0.5 cm) to eliminate interference of the heat effect of various support materials and have uniformity of the support materials. The assessment was carried out for different periods extending from two to nine weeks continuously. The investigated period covered the hottest months in Saudi Arabia (July and August) when the sky was clear of clouds. The results indicate linear correlation between alpha track diameters and the integrated exposure to solar UV as measured by the solar UV radiometer for all nuclear track detector positions and orientations. The highest slope has been observed for the detectors placed on solar tracking mechanism following the solar rays and the lowest from detectors oriented under the shadow band on horizontal position (measuring the diffused UV radiation only). The results show that most of the measured UV radiation (60%) were from the diffused UV radiation. The characteristics of the upper layer of the detectors are changed after chemical etching very quickly, with increase in the exposure time to UV solar radiation at certain orientation. The results encourage the use of nuclear track detectors for environmental and personal solar UV dosimetry on a large scale in Saudi Arabia and similar hot and clear-sky countries.     

Detection of physical defects in solar cells by hyperspectral imaging technology

A hyperspectral imaging system is developed and is used to identify cracks and fracture defects in solar cells. The basic principles and key technologies of this system are presented, along with a characterization of its performance. The system can provided both single-band images and spectrums of solar cells by laser scanning and hyperspectral imaging. The spectral angle mapper algorithm is used to identify cracks on the surface of solar cells. Experiment results show that this is a non-contact, no-destructive method for detecting cracks in solar cells.     

Improvement in IBC-silicon solar cell performance by insertion of highly doped crystalline layer at heterojunction interfaces

By inserting a thin highly doped crystalline silicon layer between the base region and amorphous silicon layer in an interdigitated back-contact(IBC) silicon solar cell, a new passivation layer is investigated. The passivation layer performance is characterized by numerical simulations. Moreover, the dependence of the output parameters of the solar cell on the additional layer parameters(doping concentration and thickness) is studied. By optimizing the additional passivation layer in terms of doping concentration and thickness, the power conversion efficiency could be improved by a factor of2.5%, open circuit voltage is increased by 30 mV and the fill factor of the solar cell by 7.4%. The performance enhancement is achieved due to the decrease of recombination rate, a decrease in solar cell resistivity and improvement of field effect passivation at heterojunction interface. The above-mentioned results are compared with reported results of the same conventional interdigitated back-contact silicon solar cell structure. Furthermore, the effect of a-Si:H/c-Si interface defect density on IBC silicon solar cell parameters with a new passivation layer is studied. The additional passivation layer also reduces the sensitivity of output parameter of solar cell to interface defect density.

Solar energy is one of the renewable energy resources that can be changed to the electrical energy with photovoltaic cells. This article accomplishes a comprehensive review on the emersion, underlying principles, types and performance improvements of these cells. Although there are some different categorizations about the solar cells, but in general, all of them can be divided to crystalline silicon solar cells, thin film technology, III–V multijunction cells, dye-sensitized solar cells, polymer solar cells and quantum structured solar cells. Thin film technology is investigated in two non-crystalline silicon solar cells and chalcogenide cells. We present a complete categorization of solar cells and discuss the recent developments of different types of solar cells. Indeed, this paper covers almost all of the development processes of solar cells from their emersion in 1939 up to now.

Solar radiation concentrators paired with multijunction photoelectric converters in ground-based solar power plants (Part II)

The present work is devoted to determining the conditions of the joint operation of photoelectric converter–solar concentrator pairs, which are used in solar power plants with concentrators. Three-cascade photoconverters based on A³B⁵ materials with different distributions of solar radiation in spectral ranges are studied. Concentrators of solar radiation are designed as the Fresnel lenses with silicon-on-glass structure. Refractive lens profile fabricated on the basis of Wacker RT604 silicone rubber is characterized by significant changes in refractive index with temperature. The effect of geometric parameters of the Fresnel lenses and their operating temperature on characteristics of solar radiation concentration in specified spectral intervals have been examined. The parameters of concentrators being paired with a photoelectric converter, which may ensure the efficient functioning of the solar power plant, have been calculated.     

Enhanced photon harvesting in silicon multicrystalline solar cells by new lanthanide complexes as light concentrators

Four europium complexes with enhanced luminescent properties have been synthesized. Thin transparent films of the complexes were prepared on glass panes and then were examined as efficient luminescent solar concentrators for full spectrum utilization in crystalline silicon photovoltaic cells. The complexes could behave as efficient solar concentrators since they absorb UV light, where the spectral response of the crystalline silicon solar cells is low and they emit at 615 nm where the spectral response is maximum. The glass panes covered with europium complexes act as planar waveguides of the emitted light that is collected by the solar cells, which are attached to the edges of the solar concentrators. The europium complexes as solar concentrators were examined in terms of the optimum concentrations and the number of coatings, which were determined in order to evaluate the maximum performance of the solar cells. The case of multiple glass panes with europium complexes was also examined while a 28% maximum increase in the photocurrent was finally established.

On the Acceleration of Energetic Cosmic Particles by Electrostatic Double Layers

The capability of electrostatic double layers of accelerating charged particles to high energies is investigated. Starting from a one-dimensional relativistic double-layer model a two-dimensional relativistic double layer in a current filament is studied. It is found that the filamentary double layer has a maximum potential drop that depends both on the magnitude of the filamentary current and on the composition of the layer. The results are applied to two cosmic double layers?one in a solar electric circuit and another in a galactic circuit. If the layers are composed of protons and electrons, these particles may be accelerated to 1011 eV in the solar layer and to 1014 eV in the galactic layer. It is suggested that the solar double layer may account for the acceleration of solar cosmic rays while the galactic layer may contribute to the generation of cosmic radiation.

Experimental analysis and modeling of the IV characteristics of photovoltaic solar cells under solar spectrum spot illumination

In this paper, some models that have been put forward to explain the characteristics of a photovoltaic solar cell device under solar spot-illumination are investigated. In the experimental procedure, small areas of the cell were selected and illuminated at different solar intensities. The solar cell open circuit voltage (V_oc) and short circuit current (I_sc) obtained at different illumination intensities was used to determine the solar cell ideality factor. By varying the illuminated area on the solar cell, changes in the ideality factor were studied. The ideality factor obtained increases with decreasing illumination surface ratio. The photo-generated current at the illuminated part of the cell is assumed to act as a dc source that injects charge carriers into the p-n junction of the whole solar cell while the dark region of the solar cell operates in a low space charge recombination regime with small diffusion currents. From this analysis, a different model of a spot illuminated cell that uses the variation of ideality factor with the illuminated area is proposed.
