Abstract

Recent conversion efficiency breakthroughs in double-junction (tandem) perovskite/crystalline silicon solar cells demand advanced opto-thermo-electrical simulations, that are critical for translating laboratory results into realistic photovoltaic module and system performance. A holistic framework is here developed and presented, combining cell-level simulations, spectral analysis, PV module and PV system modelling. After validating the deployed physics models against measured cells and modules, hourly spectral irradiances for Delft, the Netherlands, and Catania, Italy, are generated and clustered into representative “blue-rich” and “red-rich” spectra. The effects of spectral variations on the current-matching and energy yield of tandem modules are quantified. Realistic module architectures are simulated, integrating dynamic temperature and spectrum data. Temperature coefficients are derived as a function of both irradiance and module temperature, significantly improving upon traditional indoor-derived values. Results show that standard indoor-derived coefficients under-/overestimate values in realistic conditions, highlighting the ultimate need for location-specific power matrixes. This study offers a robust pathway to predict tandem module energy yields across seasons and climates, supporting optimized design choices for industrial production and future PV installations.

钙钛矿/硅双端器件的PV多尺度建模：从精确的电池性能模拟到能量产量预测

最近在双结（串联）钙钛矿/晶体硅太阳能电池的转换效率突破需要先进的光热电模拟，这对于将实验室结果转化为现实的光伏组件和系统性能至关重要。本文提出了一个整体框架，结合了电池级模拟、光谱分析、光伏模块和光伏系统建模。在根据测量的细胞和模块验证部署的物理模型后，生成荷兰代尔夫特和意大利卡塔尼亚的每小时光谱辐照度，并将其聚类为具有代表性的“蓝富”和“红富”光谱。量化了光谱变化对串联模块电流匹配和能量产生的影响。模拟了实际的模块结构，集成了动态温度和光谱数据。温度系数推导为辐照度和模块温度的函数，大大改进了传统的室内推导值。结果表明，在现实条件下，标准的室内推导系数低估/高估了值，突出了对特定位置功率矩阵的最终需求。这项研究为预测跨季节和气候的串联模块发电量提供了一个可靠的途径，为工业生产和未来光伏装置的优化设计提供了支持。
