I generation solar PV cells The solar PV cells based on crystalline-silicon, both monocrystalline (m-crystalline) and polycrystalline (p-crystalline) come under the first generation solar PV cells. The name given to crystalline silicon based solar PV cells has been derived from the way that is used to manufacture them.
At standard test condition (STC) i.e. when solar irradiation is 1000 W/m 2 and temperature is 25 °C, the power delivered by a particular solar PV cell is always maximum , . The maximum power point always occurs on the bend of I-V curve for any particular solar PV cell. This point is always marked as Pmax on the I-V curve.
A solar photovoltaic (SPV) system is an electronic device that mainly functions to convert photon energy to electrical energy using a solar power source. It has been widely used in developed countries given that they have advanced photovoltaic (PV) technology that reduces dependence on fossil fuels for energy generation.
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.
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 , , .
The supercapacitor integrated into the solar cell compensates for the intermittent power supply from the solar panel when energy is not harvested due to partial shading or the absence of light . This technology is technically viable but at the same time should be cost-effective in the long run.
