Table 16 Influence of solar cell design on thermal effects
From: Examining the influence of thermal effects on solar cells: a comprehensive review
Factors | Considerations |
|---|---|
Anti-Reflective Coatings | Coatings reduce sunlight absorption, lowering cell temperature (Sze, 1981) |
Back-Side Reflectors | Reflectors redirect unabsorbed sunlight, potentially increasing cell temperature (Sze, 1981) |
Cell Thickness | Thicker cells have higher thermal mass, impacting temperature changes and differences across the cell (Gupta et al., 2019) |
Bypass Diodes | Diodes mitigate hotspots and thermal effects by allowing current to bypass overheating or shaded cells (Gupta et al., 2019) |
