Several factors affect solar cell efficiency. This paper presents the most important factors that affecting efficiency of solar cells. These effects are cell temperature, MPPT (maximum power point tracking) and energy conversion efficiency. The changing of these factors improves solar cell efficiency for more reliable applications.
Several factors determine the efficiency of a PV cell: the type of cell, the reflectance efficiency of the cell’s surface, the thermodynamic efficiency limit, the quantum efficiency, the maximum power point, and internal resistances. When light photons strike the PV cell, some are reflected and some are absorbed.
Main topics for these factors that affecting the operation and efficiency of PV based electricity generation are PV cell technology, ambient conditions. Many types of PV cells are available today such as monocrystalline, Multicrystalline, multi junction and concentrating.
However, the efficiency of these cells is greatly influenced by their configuration and temperature. This research aims to explore the current–voltage (I−V) characteristics of individual, series, and parallel configurations in crystalline silicon solar cells under varying temperatures.
One more characteristic that really influence the decision of using silicon over any other kinds of materials mentioned above is its non-hazardous properties. As silicon is a non-toxic material, it has very low effect on the environment. These all characteristic of silicon makes it worth to be used in the photovoltaic cell.
However, challenges remain in several aspects, such as increasing the production yield, stability, reliability, cost, and sustainability. In this paper, we present an overview of the silicon solar cell value chain (from silicon feedstock production to ingots and solar cell processing).
