Solar cell performance decreases with increasing temperature, fundamentally owing to increased internal carrier recombination rates, caused by increased carrier concentrations. The operating temperature plays a key role in the photovoltaic conversion process.
High temperature performance of InGaN solar cells including temperature coefficient and carrier dynamics. III-nitride InGaN material is an ideal candidate for the fabrication of high performance photovoltaic (PV) solar cells, especially for high-temperature applications.
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.
In the present article, a state-of-the-art of solar cells operating under thermal stress, at temperatures >100°C, is established. In the following section, physics governing the sensitivity to temperature of solar cells is summarized, with an emphasis on the critical elements for pushing the limits to high-temperature levels.
Understanding various experimental techniques is vital for assessing thermal effects on solar cells. Thermal imaging, characterized by high spatial resolution, visually represents temperature variations, aiding in pinpointing areas of concern (Table 6).
A priori, it is not advisable to operate solar cells at high temperature. The reason is simple: conversion efficiency drops with temperature. 1 In spite of this, there are cases in which solar cells are put under thermal stress ( Figure 1 ).
