Reduced cell thickness (reduced weight) places added constraints on metallization sequences, thicknesses, and thermal budgets for these cells. We subjected a structure of a thin (few μm) III-V layers (the focus here is on InP-based structures) with metallization backing (Au, Ni, and Cu-based metallizations, several μm thick) to annealing at 200 °C, 300 °C, or 400 °C for up to a twelve hours. X-ray diffraction is a particularly useful technique as measurements from the solar cell (semiconductor) side of the stack also reveals the metallization diffraction peaks and hence any reaction byproducts. This is due to the beam penetration through the few μm thick cell layers. After 200 °C for twelve hours, x-ray diffraction and transmission electron microscopy indicate reactions between the metal layers in the stack but the semiconductor is unchanged. After 300 °C, twelve hours, there is more extensive intermetallic compound formation. However, after annealing at 400 °C, twelve hours, the III-V layer is entirely consumed. In contrast, when much thicker cells / semiconductor layers are subject to similar annealing conditions, there may not be a significant impact on performance because only a few μm of the total cell thickness is consumed. When the total thickness is only a few μm, however, the reaction between the metal contact layer and the semiconductor leads to consumption of the entire device. These results demonstrate that (i) the total cell thickness is important when considering contact-semiconductor interactions at elevated operating or processing temperatures and (ii) x-ray diffraction through the thin cell provides a detailed assessment of reactions; it can be utilized for any combination of thin film solar cell and metallization.","PeriodicalId":427842,"journal":{"name":"2015 IEEE 42nd Photovoltaic Specialist Conference (PVSC)","volume":"5 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-06-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128289325","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The most commonly-practiced methods of cleaning solar collectors use water-based agents. This paper, however, addresses the mitigation of soiling losses on a photovoltaic cell using the electrodynamic screen (EDS) in a laboratory environment. A model for the EDS model with two stacked layers of transparent dielectric coatings is developed using finite element analysis (FEA) software, and the behavior of the electric field on the EDS surface is thoroughly examined. For the reported experiments, an EDS sample has been integrated into a PV cell for dust mitigation. Experimental results show the restoration of the short-circuit current (Isc) to more than 90% of the pre-dust value after 10 trials using standard test dust and EDS cleaning. The tests were conducted in an environmentally-controlled chamber at various applied voltages and inclination angles. In some cases, dust coagulations were observed after several cleaning cycles. To evaluate the performance of the EDS in dust-particle removal, we have studied the particle size distribution on the EDS surface after each dust deposition and cleaning cycle using a custom-built dust-deposition analyzer.","PeriodicalId":427842,"journal":{"name":"2015 IEEE 42nd Photovoltaic Specialist Conference (PVSC)","volume":"19 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-06-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128665372","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Bench power supplies provide a reasonable approximation of solar panel behavior and can be used for initial testing. However, detailed testing with actual solar panels is required to accurately establish the performance of MPPTs. This could be a difficult and time consuming task, especially for medium and high power ratings, owing to constraining factors such as panel sizes, panel availability, testing area, daylight hours etc. An alternative to this is the use of Solar Panel Emulators (SPEs) which mimic the behavior of the panel with a reasonable accuracy. These emulators can be used to test circuits indoors for a variety of power ratings and I-V profiles while being significantly smaller in size. In this paper, we have designed and implemented a medium power SPE based on diode approximation model. By minimizing component usage, the cost of the emulator is largely reduced. The proposed circuit is simulated and then tested with loads of up to 60W with satisfactory results.","PeriodicalId":427842,"journal":{"name":"2015 IEEE 42nd Photovoltaic Specialist Conference (PVSC)","volume":"115 4 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-06-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129450900","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
