Types of Solar Cells and Their Characteristics Solar cells come in various types, each with distinct characteristics, advantages, and disadvantages. Here, we will discuss three primary types: Monocrystalline Solar Cells. Materials and Quality: Made from single-crystal silicon, monocrystalline panels are typically more efficient and more expensive.
The influence of temperature on the current, voltage and power output of crystalline solar cell is considered. The semiconductor material most important physical properties that change with temperature are: the band gap, which decreases, e.g. Eq. (1.4) and the minority-carrier lifetime, which increases with the temperature rise.
The orientation of solar panels, whether facing north–south or east–west, significantly influences the amount of sunlight received and, consequently, solar cell temperature (Atsu et al., 2020). The direction in which panels are oriented determines their exposure to direct sunlight.
Illustrated in Fig. 4 is the correlation between solar cell efficiency and temperature. As temperature rises, efficiency experiences a decline attributed to heightened electron–hole recombination rates and alterations in the bandgap properties of materials.
As temperatures rise, electron–hole recombination rates within the solar cell increase. This temperature-induced acceleration, governed by the Arrhenius equation, leads to decreased efficiency. Elevated temperatures alter the dynamics of charge carriers, hindering their contribution to electrical current generation.
Thermal effects in the context of solar cells refer to the changes in their electrical and optical properties due to variations in temperature. As solar cells operate, they invariably generate heat.
Temperature variations influence the bandgap properties of materials within solar cells (Asif, et al., 2023). Bandgap, representing the energy difference between valence and conduction bands, plays a crucial role in photon absorption.
