3d Approach Of Spectral Response For A Bifacial Silicon Solar Cell Under A Constant Magnetic Field

A three-dimensional study is made to improve the theoretical approach of spectral response of bifacial polycrystalline silicon solar cells. This study has allowed taking into account new parameters like grain size and grain boundaries recombination velocity, which reduce the cell efficiency. Losses in emitter region and external magnetic field are also being taken into account in order to perfect the description of measured spectral response. Then the new analytical expressions of carrier, photocurrent and short circuit densities are produced for front side and rear side illuminations. Homemade software based on the new analytical expressions of internal quantum efficiency is used to fit the experimental data
