AbstractWe developed and designed a bifacial four-terminal perovskite (PVK)/crystalline silicon (c-Si) heterojunction (HJ) tandem solar cell configuration albedo reflection in which the c-Si HJ bottom sub-cell absorbs the solar spectrum from both the front and rear sides (reflected light from the background such as green grass, white sand, red brick, roofing shingle, snow, etc.). Using the albedo reflection and the subsequent short-circuit current density, the conversion efficiency of the PVK-filtered c-Si HJ bottom sub-cell was improved regardless of the PVK top sub-cell properties. This approach achieved a conversion efficiency exceeding 30%, which is higher than those of both the top and bottom sub-cells. Notably, this efficiency is also greater than the Schockley–Quiesser limit of the c-Si solar cell (approximately 29.43%). The proposed approach has the potential to lower industrial solar cell production costs in the near future.

En considérant les variations dimensionnelles de la tension photovoltaïque induite en circuit ouvert par des rayonnements lumineux d'énergie supérieure à 3,66 eV dans des structures sandwich Al/ZnS/Au, ainsi que les variations avec le flux lumineux du courant de court-circuit et de la conductance correspondant à la phototransition entre bandes, l'hypothèse d'une quasi-bande de conduction créée par l'ionisation de centres coulombiens est avancée. Elle conduit à une formulation de la tension photovoltaïque en bonne cohérence avec l'expérience.Variations with thickness of open-circuit voltage, short-circuit current and photoconductance associated to interband transition lead to postulate the existence of a quasi-conduction band, associated with ionized coulombic centres, in Al/ZnS/Au illuminated (photon energy > 3,66 eV) sandwich structures. An expression of open-circuit voltage is deduced, in good agreement with experimental data.

Abstract In order to accurately select photovoltaic modules under different climatic conditions, three kinds of polycrystalline silicon photovoltaic modules were prepared for this study using different properties of packaging materials and two typical climatic zones of China were selected for installation and operation of these photovoltaic (PV) modules. The photoelectric parameters (maximum power, open-circuit voltage, short-circuit current, etc.) and electroluminescence images of these modules were analysed before and after their operation for 6 months. The study found that the performance of PV modules in different climatic regions shows different decay tendency and degradation mechanism. There was a significant difference in the degradation of the three different types of PV modules in the sub-humid-hot region (Suzhou, Jiangsu); two kinds of photovoltaic modules using relatively poorly performing package materials showed significant potential-induced degradation effects. However, the degradation trend of the three different types of PV modules in the warm-temperate region (Kenli, Shandong) was consistent and no significant potential-induced degradation effect was observed.
