The output voltage of a PV cell is affected only slightly by the amount of light intensity (irradiance), but the current, and thus the power, decreases as the irradiance decreases. PV cell parameters are usually specified under standard test conditions (STC) at a total irradiance of 1 sun (1,000 W/m 2 ), a temperature of 25°C and coefficient ...
The output power of the PV cell is voltage times current, so there is no output power for a short-circuit condition because of VOUT or for an open-circuit condition because of IOUT = 0. Above the short-circuit point, the PV cell operates with a resistive load.
Some manufacturers claim efficiencies greater than 18%. Several factors determine the efficiency of a PV cell: the type of cell, the reflectance efficiency of the cell’s surface, the thermodynamic efficiency limit, the quantum efficiency, the maximum power point, and internal resistances.
The electrical performance of a photovoltaic (PV) silicon solar cell is described by its current–voltage (I–V) character-istic curve, which is in turn determined by device and material properties.
The output voltage of a PV cell is affected only slightly by the amount of light intensity (irradiance), but the current, and thus the power, decreases as the irradiance decreases.
Tsuno et al. (2005) investigated the dependence of temperature and irradiance on current–voltage characteristics of different solar cells using linear interpolation method and observed that the physical validity of the linear interpolation for the temperature was based on the current–voltage characteristics of the p–n junction devices.
Other important characteristics include how the current varies as a function of the output voltage and as a function of light intensity or irradiance. The current-voltage (I-V) curve for a PV cell shows that the current is essentially constant over a range of output voltages for a specified amount of incident light energy.
