Comparison of ideal solar cell concepts using infield data

2018

Master's thesis Renewable Energy ENE500 - University of Agder 2018 The work done in this thesis has been focused on the comparison of the power production in the ideal single junction cell, intermediate band solar cell, the unconstrained tandem cell, and the area de-coupled 2-terminal constrained tandem cell, using di erent band gaps. The efficiency and production for each of the concepts have been calculated based mathematical framework previously established, using temperature and irradiation data collected from Kjøita in Kristiansand, using MatLab. The monthly and annual power production for each of the concepts has been calculated and compared. It has been found that the intermediate ba…
