Solar PV cells may be mainly divided into two parts as crystalline and thin film. Mono-crystalline silicon (MonoSi), microcrystalline based amorphous silicon (a-Si/µc-Si) thin film and Cadmium Telluride (CdTe) thin film solar cells are widely used PV cells in the arrays. The outdoor performances of the systems depend on some climatic parameters and conditions, and it is important to understand how the monthly efficiencies vary with these parameters (Bhattacharya et al., 2014; Dubey et al., 2013; Skoplaki and Palyvos, 2009). In the present study, the data obtained from three grid connected PV arrays of Mono-Si, a-Si/µc-Si and CdTe thin film that were operated for 3 years in Ankara-Turkey is analyzed. The results showed that Mono-Si array performance depends on the outdoor climatic conditions while a-Si/µc-Si and CdTe thin film arrays performances are not significantly affected by the variation of the climatic parameters.

Effect of Laser Parameters and Post-Texturing Treatments on the Optical and Electrical Properties of Laser Textured c-Si Wafers
RADFAR, Behrad; ES, FIRAT; NASSER, Hisham; AKDEMİR, Ozan; Bek, Alpan; Turan, Raşit (2018-03-21)
Surface plays a crucial role in the performance of crystalline silicon (cSi) based solar cells as it affects both electrical and optical properties. To minimize reflection from the flat surface and thus improve light trapping, the cSi wafers must be textured. For mono-cSi cells, anisotropic alkaline etchants are commonly utilized to create pyramids on the surface. However, this method is not viable for multi-crystalline silicon (mc-Si) wafers due to the presence of different and random crystallographic orie...
Optical and electrical design guidelines for ZnO/CdS nanorod-based CdTe solar cells
Özcan, Can; Turkay, Deniz; Yerci, Selçuk (2019-04-15)
An alternative structure to planar CdTe solar cells is realized by coating ZnO/CdS nanorods (NRs) with a CdTe layer. These structures are expected to achieve high-powered conversion efficiencies through enhanced light absorption and charge carrier collection. ZnO NR-based CdTe solar cell efficiencies; however, they have remained well below their planar counterparts, thus hindering NRs in CdTe solar cells' advantages. Here, we analyze the light trapping and carrier collection efficiencies in two types of ZnO...
Effects of different laser modified surface morphologies and post-texturing cleanings on c-Si solar cell performance
Radfar, Behrad; ES, FIRAT; Turan, Raşit (Elsevier BV, 2020-01-01)
Performance of crystalline Silicon solar cells depends on numerous factors. One key factor is a surface structure which can restrict electrical and optical properties due to recombination of generated carriers and reflection of incident light. Surface texturing reduces reflection from a flat surface which increases absorption of light. Anisotropic alkaline etchants are commonly used for texturing mono-crystalline Silicon wafers which produce pyramid structures on the surface. Because of randomly oriented cr...
Effect of porosity on the efficiency of DSSC produced by using nano size TiO2 powders
Bilgin, Nursev; Park, Jongee; Öztürk, Abdullah (2014-01-01)
Gözenekliliğin, 20 nm ve 200 nm TiO2 partiküllerinin farklı oranlarda karıştırılmasıyla oluşturulan pastalar kullanılarak hazırlanan boyaya duyarlı güneş pillerinin (DSSC'ler) enerji dönüşüm verimine etkisi araştırılmıştır. Macunların mikroyapısını incelemek için XRD ve SEM analizleri yapılmıştır. DSSC'lerin enerji dönüşüm verimliliği, tam akım yoğunluğu-voltaj eğrisi çizilerek belirlendi. Ağırlıkça% 40 20 nm ve ağırlıkça% 60 200 nm TiO2 partiküllerinden oluşan karışım kullanılarak hazırlanan DSSC,% 6.74'lü...
The effects of post-annealing process on the physical properties of silver-indium-selenium ternary semiconductor thin films deposited by electron beam technique
Çolakoğlu, Tahir; Parlak, Mehmet; Department of Physics (2009)
Ternary chalcopyrite compounds are the semiconductors with suitable properties to be used as absorber materials in thin film solar cells. AgInSe2 is a promising candidate with its several advantages over the widely used CuInSe2. The purpose of this study was to optimize the physical properties of the Ag-In-Se (AIS) thin films that were deposited by e-beam evaporation of Ag3In5Se9 single crystal powder for solar cell applications by means of post-annealing process under nitrogen atmosphere. The as-grown AIS ...
