Photovoltaic Effect: An Introduction to Solar Cells

Photovoltaic Effect Solar photovoltaic energy conversion: Converting sunlight directly into electricity. When light is absorbed by matter, photons are given up to excite electrons to higher energy states within the material (the energy differencebetween the initial and final states is given by hν). Particularly, this occurs when the energy of the photons making up the light is larger

6 FAQs about [Solar Photovoltaic Lecture Notes]

What topics are covered in a photovoltaic lecture?

Lectures cover commercial and emerging photovoltaic technologies and cross-cutting themes, including conversion efficiencies, loss mechanisms, characterization, manufacturing, systems, reliability, life-cycle analysis, Fundamentals of photoelectric conversion: charge excitation, conduction, separation, and collection.

What is a solar energy book?

It covers the topics that are treated in the three lec-tures on photovoltaics (PV) that are taught at the Delft University of Technology throughout the Academic Year: PV Basics, PV Technology, and PV Systems. In addition the book also covers other forms of solar en-ergy, in particular Solar Thermal applications and Solar Fuels.

What are the standard test conditions of a photovoltaic (PV) module?

Standard Test Conditions (STC) of Photovoltaic (PV) modules are generally not representative of the real working conditions of a solar module. For example, high levels of incident irradiation, may cause the tem-perature of a module to rise many degrees above the STC temperature of 25°C, therefore lowering the mod-ule performances.

What topics are covered in the book solar energy En-Ergy?

In addition the book also covers other forms of solar en-ergy, in particular Solar Thermal applications and Solar Fuels. Many of the topics that are discussed in this book are also covered in the Massive Open Online Course (MOOC) on Solar Energy (DelftX, ET.3034TU) that is given by Arno Smets on the edX platform and starts on 1 September 2014.

How to study the J-V characteristic of a solar cell?

these parameters on the J-V characteristic of the solar cell can be studied using the equivalent circuit presen-ted in Fig. 9.3 (b). The J-V characteristic of the one-diode equivalent circuit with the series resistance and the shunt resistance is given by (9.9) where A is the area of the solar cell.

How do I conclude the book on solar energy?

The book is concluded with an Appendix, where some derivations that are too lengthy for the book are shown. As this book is on Solar Energy, it is good to start the discussion with some general thoughts on Energy. We will begin with a quote from The Feynman Lectures on Physics.
