Without a maximum power point tracking (MPPT) algorithm, the PV array will operate at the voltage of its load, which often is not the maximum power point (MPP); therefore, causing the PV array to not produce its maximum power output. This paper discusses a current MPPT technique (Perturb and Observe (P&O)), and presents a new MPPT algorithm, convergence. This new algorithm allows for accurate operation with PV arrays containing bypass diodes. All MPPT algorithms discussed are tested through simulations performed on a model PV array in MATLAB.","PeriodicalId":427842,"journal":{"name":"2015 IEEE 42nd Photovoltaic Specialist Conference (PVSC)","volume":"30 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":"126651408","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}

In principle, applying an ultra-thin tunnel layer (for example by atomic layer deposition) with a high positive fixed interface charge density, the conventional buffer layer can be substituted. Assuming a fixed interface charge density of 1013 cm-2 of the tunneling layer, the simulated CIGS efficiency is over 15%, being close to the reference CIGS solar cell with CdS buffer layer. The benefits and limitations of the Cd-free tunneling layer CIGS solar cells are discussed.

To this respect, evaporated MoOx hole-selective contacts recently brought some attention due to impressive transparency and carrier selectivity properties, and other materials are widely studied in other photovoltaics technologies (TiO2, WO3, V2O5, ...). Compared to standard heterojunction devices using amorphous silicon as passivating layer and CSC, reported efficiencies for devices using evaporated MoOx layers still fall short due to carrier extraction or recombination issues. Whereas little room for maneuver is foreseen to tune the properties of evaporated metal oxide layers, reactive sputtering on the other hand is expected to allow manipulating the work-function of metal oxides. We will review in this presentation the potential of using reactively sputtered metal-oxides as CSC in c-Si solar cells. Preliminary results obtained with MoOx indicate that decreasing the oxidation state of the layer yields better transport properties but poorer selectivity. Also, though a drastic drop in lifetime was observed after sputtering a MoOx layer on a passivating a-Si layer, annealing enabled a recovery of most of the lifetime.","PeriodicalId":427842,"journal":{"name":"2015 IEEE 42nd Photovoltaic Specialist Conference (PVSC)","volume":"53 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":"123639557","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}

To monitor accurately AC power output and yield, each of the micro-inverters has been equipped with a calibrated precision electricity meter. For micro-inverters that require control units for grid-feeding this has been purchased also. The test field is equipped with pyranometers in the module plane for global and diffuse irradiance, temperature, wind speed and wind direction measurement. The comparison includes energy yield over almost one year, efficiency-load characteristics, recovery times after switch-off, cost comparisons (including control units necessary and wiring), basic safety, reliability, warranty duration comparisons, and lifetime costs for generated electricity.

Etching the wafers in hydrochloric acid with different concentrations and current densities create a dual layer porous structure with a more dense top layer for epitaxial growth and a buried porous layer. Annealing the structure forms voids in the buried layer. Epitaxial layers with thickness of about 2 μm were grown on dense layers. The layers grown were analyzed by transmission electron microscopy and high resolution x-ray diffraction and determined to be high quality single crystal layers. The porous samples created were bonded to PDMS substrates and the top layer was easily peeled off due to fracture through the high porosity layer. Layer transfer was also performed by gluing the samples to glass slides and pulling them apart. The transferred layers were characterized by scanning electron microscopy. These results point to the usefulness of porous III-V layers as templates for epitaxial growth and device transfer for solar cell applications.","PeriodicalId":427842,"journal":{"name":"2015 IEEE 42nd Photovoltaic Specialist Conference (PVSC)","volume":"24 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":"121260791","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}

This modification improves the charge transport properties at this interface and consequently the device's voltage and electro-optical properties in general. Using TEM and TOF-SIMS we demonstrate that Ge is barely incorporated into the absorber; nevertheless we observe a drastic increase of the VOC of the solar cells (from 405 mV for the reference to 470 mV for the best Ge modified one). This in turn has a large impact on the performance, increasing it from 7.0% (reference) to 10.1% (Ge modified), which sets a new record efficiency for a Ge containing kesterite and a VOC among the highest obtained for Se-based kesterite solar cells. First characterizations indicate that this is related to an improved grain growth assisted via Ge-Se liquid phases, the minimization of Sn-reduced species and the formation of Ge-O nano-clusters. Our approach not only allows to go towards high efficiency concepts and to contribute to solve the voltage deficit problems in kesterites, but also opens new perspectives for the possible band-gap engineering of kesterite devices with very low Ge concentrations.","PeriodicalId":427842,"journal":{"name":"2015 IEEE 42nd Photovoltaic Specialist Conference (PVSC)","volume":"17 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":"121391956","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}
