Design rules for high performance For a high solar cell efficiency, simultaneously need high absorption, collection, open circuit voltage and fill factor. Absorption and collection are typically achievable by “clever” engineering & innovation. Voltage is controlled by worst, localized region, NOT the same region which absorbs the light – this is fundamentally why single crystal solar cells are highest efficiency. Predictive models and design rules for all characteristics are necessary for the device parameters.

ELEG 620 Solar Electric Power Systems March 4, 2010 Solar Cell Operation Key aim is to generate power by: (1) Generating a large short circuit current, I sc (2) Generate a large open-circuit voltage, V oc (3) Minimise parasitic power loss mechanisms (particularly series and shunt resistance).
