Therefore, many manufacturers are investigating the potential benefits of incorporating anti-soiling or self-cleaning properties into PV module coatings. In order to study the potential anti-soiling behavior of various surface treatments, we have deployed a test station with custom-made PV modules having coatings with both hydrophilic and hydrophobic properties that may inhibit soiling and/or induce self-cleaning. The soiling of each sample is determined by comparison to an automatically washed reference cell in the station. We present the motivations for and design of the station, along with preliminary results regarding the impact of the coatings on soiling.","PeriodicalId":6524,"journal":{"name":"2016 IEEE 43rd Photovoltaic Specialists Conference (PVSC)","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-06-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"85189851","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 enhanced spectral coverage of this simulator significantly reduced the spectral mismatch over previous implementations.

The method takes into account the optical coupling between any secondary optic and its multi-junction cell receiver and allows the latter to be used as light detector for the first time. A series of band pass filters are used to isolate the optical performance of different narrow spectral bands throughout the spectrum of interest. The subcell with a response in each narrow band is used as a light sensor. A high-intensity filtered broad band light is cast on the receiver surroundings to avoid the other subcells to limit the current. The technique presented has been key to identify solarization effects in molded soda-lime glass secondary optics exposed to outdoor operation during several months.","PeriodicalId":6524,"journal":{"name":"2016 IEEE 43rd Photovoltaic Specialists Conference (PVSC)","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-06-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"73121759","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}

While it is possible to successfully include QDs without inducing middle junction voltage degradation, they can lead to a slight reduction of minority carrier diffusion lengths in films grown after the QDs. Switching to an inverted metamorphic structure allows for the top cell to be grown first, but leads to challenges in maintaining current collection in the middle junction. In this work, a novel InAs/GaAs QD middle junction cell design is proposed for improving the efficiency of triple junction inverted metamorphic solar cells. Conventionally designed thin emitter devices as well as the proposed thick emitter devices were grown with and without InAs QDs in the uid region of the middle junction.

This has been attributed, in part, to improved CdS/CIGS heterojunction quality due to the enhanced diffusion of Cd into the near-interface region of CIGS. In this work, we try to distinguish the role of K compared to Na in enhancing Cd incorporation in CuInSe2 (CIS) based on first-principles calculations. Using a canonical method for calculating defect concentrations as a function of temperature and material stoichiometry, we identify experimentally relevant conditions under which a simple model for Na and K kinetics can lead to such an effect. We argue that a sufficiently low migration barrier for K diffusion mediated by Cu vacancies can lead to Cu-depletion near the CdS interface, allowing Cd to occupy greater numbers of vacant Cu sites.","PeriodicalId":6524,"journal":{"name":"2016 IEEE 43rd Photovoltaic Specialists Conference (PVSC)","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-06-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"82867536","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 the bonding process, surface cleaning using fast atom beam (FAB) of noble gas elements is vital for successful bonding but it damages the surface, resulting in numerous crystal defects at the bonded interface and increases electrical resistance. We here developed quantitative evaluation of such defects introduced by FAB treatment. The surface of n-GaAs was treated with the FAB using Ne, Ar and Kr, and Au Schottky electrodes were formed on the surfaces. Capacitance of a Schottky diode as a function of both probe frequency and DC bias allowed us to characterize both energy depth of the defects and their density profile along the physical depth from the GaAs surface. The results indicated that atoms with the smaller diameter generate high-density defects to the deeper region from the surface. When the defect density exceeding the doping level of GaAs spreads to wider than 5 nm, significant Schottky characteristics appears in the interfacial current-voltage characteristics, as suggested by simulations. Such a tendency was semi-quantitatively in good agreement with the measured current-voltage characteristics of the n-GaAs/n-GaAs bonded interfaces treated with the FAB of Ne, Ar and Kr, suggesting that the capacitance analysis of the FAB-treated surface provides us a direction for optimizing the surface- activated bonding process using FAB.","PeriodicalId":6524,"journal":{"name":"2016 IEEE 43rd Photovoltaic Specialists Conference (PVSC)","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-06-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"83114151","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}
