Abstract
Studies on concentrated light influence do not take into account the effect of the heating and this proves to be harmful on photovoltaic parameters. The main purpose of this work is to study the effects of light concentration and the heating caused by this concentration on intrinsic properties and carrier density profile. A thermal model of the PV cell is proposed. By applying the power balance at the steady-state, the PV cell thermal equation is determined. The resolution of this equation leads to temperature profile which shows a rapid increase with light concentration. The mobility n and diffusion n D coefficients of electrons increase to reach their maxima, respectively
