Semiconductor materials ranged from “micromorphous and amorphous silicon” to quaternary or binary semiconductors, such as “gallium arsenide (GaAs), cadmium telluride (CdTe) and copper indium gallium selenide (CIGS)” are used in thin films based solar PV cells , , .
The polymers/organic solar PV cells can also be categorized into dye-sensitized organic solar PV cells (DSSC), photoelectrochemical solar PV cells, plastic (polymer) and organic photovoltaic devices (OPVD) with the difference in their mechanism of operation , , .
Encapsulate: PV cells as mounted in PV modules are encapsulated with a polymeric material to protect against weather, corrosive environment, UV radiation, low mechanical stress, and low energy impacts. Most often polymeric encapsulate material is ethylene vinyl acetate (EVA) film.
The different physical principles are associated with the operation of different solar PV cells. However, the all well performing solar PV cells possess similar I-V characteristics and can be compared or characterized with each other on behalf of four factors viz. VOC, ISC, FF and PCE. 5. Comparative analysis of solar PV cell materials
A comprehensive study has been presented in the paper, which includes solar PV generations, photon absorbing materials and characterization properties of solar PV cells. The first-generation solar cells are conventional and wafer-based including m-Si, p-Si.
Most commonly, the VOC of solar PV cells has been noticed between 0.5 and 0.6 V. The VOC of solar PV cells is generally determined by the difference in the quasi Fermi levels.
