Abstract

 Abstract —Photovoltaic (PV) technology is one of the upcoming leading technology to curb environmental issues without affecting sustainable development. However, its efficiency and cost are the significant issues in getting its peak in energy sector. In this paper we have numerically investigated the effects of metallization on the performance of PV cell. By using Griddler2.5 software various designs of H-pattern PV cells have been studied. It is revealed that increase in the number of busbars augments the shading factor from 4.11% to 8.75% and fill factor increases from 69.39% to 81.06%. Moreover, it is found that efficiency of PV cell increases when busbars value reaches to 4, then it decreases, it may be due to the influence of shading. Similarly, as the size of busbar increases so does the shading factor increase from 5.05% to 12.54% and fill factor from 80.29% to 80.49%. While in this case efficiency decreased from 19.91% to 18.17% throughout sizing range of busbar in the study. Hence it found that thin metallic busbars are more beneficial for PV cell performance and optimal number of busbars to be used in a PV cell is

母线金属化对光伏电池性能的影响

摘要-光伏(PV)技术是在不影响可持续发展的情况下遏制环境问题的未来领先技术之一。然而，它的效率和成本是其在能源领域达到顶峰的重要问题。本文用数值方法研究了金属化对光伏电池性能的影响。利用gridler2.5软件对h型光伏电池的各种设计进行了研究。结果表明，母线数量的增加使遮阳系数从4.11%增加到8.75%，填充系数从69.39%增加到81.06%。此外，当母线值达到4时，光伏电池的效率增加，然后下降，这可能是由于遮阳的影响。同样，随着母线尺寸的增加，遮阳系数从5.05%增加到12.54%，填充系数从80.29%增加到80.49%。而在这种情况下，在整个母线尺寸范围内，效率从19.91%下降到18.17%。因此，薄金属母线对光伏电池的性能更有利，并且在光伏电池中使用的最佳母线数量为
