From: Examining the influence of thermal effects on solar cells: a comprehensive review
Comprehensive data | Direct relevance | Applicability to existing testing | Limited temperature control | Surface effects | Time-consuming |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
Techniques provide comprehensive data on the electrical response of solar cells under different thermal conditions (Failed, 2021) | Directly assess the impact of temperature on solar cell electrical characteristics, including efficiency, open-circuit voltage, short-circuit current, and fill factor (Malik et al., 2021) | Can be integrated into existing solar cell testing setups, making it a practical choice for research and development (Failed, 2021) | Some experimental setups may have limited control over temperature variations, affecting the accuracy and repeatability of measurements (Grant & O'Dwyer, 2207) | Focuses primarily on the electrical response and may not provide insights into localized temperature variations (Grant & O'Dwyer, 2207) | Conducting experiments at multiple temperature points can be time-consuming (Ortega, 2022) |
