Basic silicon solar cell has been designed and simulated using PC1D simulator. Optimum values for the thicknes of base layer and temperature have been decided from I-V and P-V curve of basic silicon solar cell. It has been observed that as thickness increases, I sc increases whereas P max and V oc decreases.
A bulk silicon PV module consists of multiple individual solar cells connected, nearly always in series, to increase the power and voltage above that from a single solar cell. The voltage of a PV module is usually chosen to be compatible with a 12V battery.
Basic silicon solar cell is theoretically designed and simulated in PC1D. The performance of basic silicon solar cell is compared with the other one having optimised values of base layer thickness and temperature. PC1D simulation show that the conversion efficiency is 22.58% for 150 μm p-type layer thickness at 25 °C.
The voltage from the PV module is determined by the number of solar cells and the current from the module depends primarily on the size of the solar cells. At AM1.5 and under optimum tilt conditions, the current density from a commercial solar cell is approximately between 30 mA/cm 2 to 36 mA/cm 2.
When temperature increases; I sc remains constant whereas P max and V oc decreases. These optimum values enhance the efficiency and fill factor of the silicon solar cell. Simulations in PC1D is an effective way to enhance the performance of silicon solar cell. 1. Introduction
Silicon PV cells are composed of a thin layer of bulk Si or a thin Si film connected to electric terminals. One of the sides of the Si layer is doped to form the p–n junction. A thin metallic grid is placed on the Sun-facing surface of the semiconductor. Fig. 2 roughly illustrates the physical structure of a PV cell.
