Comparison of the Temperature Coefficients of the Basic I-V Parameters for Various Types of Solar Cells

Research output: Contribution to conference › Paper

Abstract

It is well-known that the maximum power output of photovoltaic devices changes with temperature. Therefore, the temperature coefficients of the basic device performance parameters (open-circuit voltage, short-circuit current, fill factor, and efficiency) are important factors which must be taken into account in the design of a photovoltaic power system, where temperature changes occur throughoutthe day and year. This paper reports results of experimental temperature coefficient measurements obtained on a wide variety of different photovoltaic devices, many of which have not had temperature coefficient data published previously.
