研究目的
Investigating the optimization of front contacts for concentrator multijunction solar cells using a computationally efficient simulation method.
研究成果
The proposed multidiode model offers a computationally efficient method for exploring design parameters for front grids on multijunction solar cells under concentration. It aligns with experimental data and provides a practical tool for evaluating changes in front grid design over a wide range of concentrations with minimal computational effort.
研究不足
The model assumes an internal quantum efficiency of 100% for high quality solar cells, which may not hold for all cases. Additionally, the computational efficiency, while improved, may still face challenges with extremely large parameter spaces.
1：Experimental Design and Method Selection:
The study employs a novel multidiode model for optimizing the front grid of multijunction solar cells under concentration conditions. The model is designed to quickly explore the maximum achievable efficiency across various operating conditions and design parameters.
2：Sample Selection and Data Sources:
The model's consistency is validated against experimental data and more complex modeling approaches like the SPICE model.
3：List of Experimental Equipment and Materials:
The study utilizes PVlighthouse's SunSolve cloud software package for optical simulations, which includes layers and films defined by thickness and material with a certain complex refractive index.
4：Experimental Procedures and Operational Workflow:
Optical simulations are performed using multi-scale simulations based on thin film optics combined with ray tracing. The model accounts for varying metal resistivity, finger spacing, redirecting capability, and finger width.
5：Data Analysis Methods:
The current-voltage relationship for each individual subcell is deduced from electrical circuit theory, and the efficiency is calculated from the IV-curve.
