Abstract

One of the least studied and most important parameters that are ignored in the simulation and construction of solar cells is temperature. The effect of temperature is complex, and the solar cell is a very temperature-sensitive device. Constructing high-efficient solar cells is an essential task. In this paper, we simulated and studied the effect of temperature on the characteristics of FTO/SnO2/CdS/CdTe/Cu2O solar cells using MATLAB and Maple software. For this purpose, first, the transport and Poisson equations, the continuity of the current, and the transfer of the carrier were solved by the drift-diffusion method and then they were discretized. We examined the cell temperature in the range of 200 to 400 Kelvin. The results showed that increasing temperature from 200 to 400 Kelvin open-circuit voltage decreases the short-circuit current. Furthermore, the filling factor first increases and then decreases. The efficiency of the solar cell also decreases sharply with increasing temperature. The results showed that, by decreasing the temperature of the solar cell, an efficiency of more than 32% can be achieved in cadmium telluride solar cells with FTO/SnO2/CdS/CdTe/Cu2O structure.

Cu2O背接CdTe太阳能电池温度效应的模拟与优化

在太阳能电池的模拟和构建中，研究最少、最重要的参数之一是温度。温度的影响是复杂的，太阳能电池是一种对温度非常敏感的设备。构建高效太阳能电池是一项重要任务。本文利用MATLAB和Maple软件模拟研究了温度对FTO/SnO2/CdS/CdTe/Cu2O太阳能电池特性的影响。为此，首先通过漂移扩散法求解输运方程和泊松方程、电流的连续性和载流子的转移，然后对它们进行离散化。我们检测了200至400开尔文范围内的电池温度。结果表明，开路电压从200开尔文升高到400开尔文，短路电流减小。此外，填充因子先增大后减小。太阳能电池的效率也随着温度的升高而急剧降低。结果表明，通过降低太阳能电池的温度，具有FTO/SnO2/CdS/CdTe/Cu2O结构的碲化镉太阳能电池的效率可以达到32%以上。
