研究目的
To enhance the efficiency of solar cells made of single crystalline silicon by reducing reflection losses through two methods: forming grooves on the surface using a pulse Nd:YAG laser and depositing nanomaterials (Silver (Ag) and Cadmium telluride (CdTe)) as an antireflection layer.
研究成果
The study demonstrated that the efficiency of solar cells can be significantly enhanced by reducing reflection losses through laser texturing and the application of antireflection layers. The best results were achieved with CdTe/Si solar cells, showing a 32.9% increase in efficiency compared to the reference Si solar cell. The optimal incident angle for minimizing reflection losses was found to be between 31-45 degrees.
研究不足
The study focused on single crystalline silicon solar cells and used specific nanomaterials (Ag and CdTe) for antireflection layers. The effect of other materials or solar cell types was not explored. The experimental setup was designed for specific conditions, and its applicability under varying environmental conditions was not tested.
1:Experimental Design and Method Selection:
The study employed two methods to reduce reflection losses: laser texturing of the silicon surface and deposition of nanomaterials (Ag and CdTe) as antireflection layers.
2:Sample Selection and Data Sources:
Single crystalline silicon solar cells were used. The nanomaterials were prepared in the laboratory.
3:List of Experimental Equipment and Materials:
A pulse Nd:YAG laser with max energy 1J and pulse width 10ns, a 3D optical galvo mirror scanning system, a system designed to measure reflectance for angles 0–180 degrees controlled by a microcontroller, a halogen lamp of power 150W, digital multimeter, variable resistor, and photoresistor LDR array.
4:Experimental Procedures and Operational Workflow:
The reflectance was measured by rotating the sample to various angles and measuring the output voltage from a photodiode. The solar cell efficiency was measured using a setup with a halogen lamp, power supply, digital multimeter, and variable resistor.
5:Data Analysis Methods:
Reflectance was calculated from the square of the reflectivity. Solar efficiency was calculated from the I-V characteristics.
