Abstract

To achieve genuine carbon neutrality, PV-powered vehicles show promise for future automotive development. However, the impact of curved surfaces on flexible solar cell module performance remains uncertain. This study specifically focuses on newly-designed flexible GaInP/GaAs/InGaAs triple junction solar cells, which have the highest potential output efficiency. A computational model was developed to analyze the electrical performance of curved solar cells, and variations in short-circuit current (Isc) and open-circuit voltage (Voc) with bending angles were determined to closely match experimental data. The effects of incident light intensity, angle, and bending strain on solar cell performance were analyzed to explain the observed Isc and Voc trends. This method can be applied to other III-V group solar cells, providing theoretical support for accurately calculating the performance of curved solar cell modules.

弯曲变形对柔性 GaInP/GaAs/InGaAs 三结太阳能电池光电性能的影响

为了实现真正的碳中和，光伏动力汽车在未来的汽车发展中大有可为。然而，曲面对柔性太阳能电池组件性能的影响仍不确定。本研究特别关注新设计的柔性 GaInP/GaAs/InGaAs 三结太阳能电池，这种电池具有最高的潜在输出效率。研究人员建立了一个计算模型来分析弯曲太阳能电池的电气性能，并确定了短路电流（Isc）和开路电压（Voc）随弯曲角度的变化，使之与实验数据密切吻合。分析了入射光强度、角度和弯曲应变对太阳能电池性能的影响，以解释观察到的 Isc 和 Voc 变化趋势。该方法可应用于其他 III-V 族太阳能电池，为精确计算弯曲太阳能电池模块的性能提供理论支持。
