This paper describes mechanical degradation experiments carried out to simulate possible bending effects of flexible CIGS modules when mounted on flexible floaters on sea. In an offshore environment the PV modules are subjected to millions of deformations per year. It is concluded that the strain induced by the bending can lead to serious performance loss of the PV modules and measures are advised to reduce the strain in the modules.

Multijunction systems are a promising alternative to overcome the efficiency limit of single-junction cells. A comparison between the two connection schemes, tandem and 4-terminal, is necessary for the development of the applications of this technology. To this purpose, we employed a Monte Carlo simulation algorithm, validated on experimental data, to evaluate the power conversion efficiency of a multijunction system in both configurations by obtaining the absorption spectrum of each layer and calculating the current-voltage characteristics for different thicknesses of each layer in the top cell.

This paper explores the application of optimizing tilt of photovoltaic (PV) plants as a statewide strategy to best match the California statewide load over the year and thus minimize storage requirements for a carbon-free grid. Through a simple cost model and energy balance model examining PV + storage in isolation, we show that, even though horizontal trackers produce the lowest cost electricity when the timing of generation is ignored, high-tilt PV plants have the potential to reduce overall system cost substantially by reducing the required storage capacity and by better utilizing surplus electricity. California should consider tilted PV configurations in capacity expansion planning and consider PV electricity pricing or incentives that encourage new PV installations that better match the seasonal load to reduce storage requirements.

External quantum efficiency (EQE) of copper indium gallium diselenide (CIGS) based solar cells with different antireflection coatings (ARC) has been evaluated under the solar irradiance of airmasses (AM) 0 and 1.5G. The simulations are performed in the wavelength range of 300 - 2500 nm to investigate the absorptance and reflectance features below and above the band gap of the absorber layer. Short circuit current density is increased the most for AM 0 and 1.5G using MgF2 ARCs. However, these ARCs also reduce reflectance below the band gap energy of CIGS which will lead to absorption in other component layers, device heating, and lower operating efficiency.

Renewable energies have experienced significant growth in recent years. The new installed capacity from renewable sources has surpassed the new installed capacity from conventional sources. Solar energy is the fastest growing and the most pervasive. In this sense, it is essential that the sizing and design of solar energy generation systems (such as photovoltaic systems or solar thermal systems) be carried out considering the solar geometry to ensure that that the location of the generation system allows capturing the greatest amount of solar radiation on any given day or time of the year and, thus, generate more energy. This paper presents the development of a computerized tool, for educational purposes, that allows performing solar geometry calculations to be used in solar energy generation systems. The computerized tool was developed using MATLAB® AppDesigner. The computerized tool facilitates and helps the study of how solar geometry affects the performance of solar energy systems. The computerized tool was tested with students of Energy Engineering Program at U niversidad de Medellín and allowed to verify that the learning process of the subject have improved substantially.
近年来，可再生能源经历了显著的增长。可再生能源的新装机容量已经超过了传统能源的新装机容量。太阳能是发展最快、最普及的能源。从这个意义上说，太阳能发电系统(如光伏系统或太阳能热系统)的大小和设计必须考虑到太阳能的几何形状，以确保发电系统的位置允许在任何给定的日子或一年中的任何时间捕获最大数量的太阳辐射，从而产生更多的能量。本文介绍了一种计算机工具的开发，用于教育目的，允许在太阳能发电系统中使用执行太阳几何计算。计算机化工具是使用MATLAB®AppDesigner开发的。计算机化的工具促进和帮助研究太阳几何形状如何影响太阳能系统的性能。该计算机化工具在universitysidad de Medellín能源工程专业的学生中进行了测试，并被允许验证该主题的学习过程有了实质性的改进。

Underperforming cells in a photovoltaic (PV) module or the modules in a PV string are typically detected and mapped using electroluminescence (EL) infrared (IR) imaging, and current voltage (IV) curve techniques. In the current work, a non-contact electrostatic voltmeter (ESV) technique is presented to detect and map the underperforming spots in a cell and the cells in a module. The ESV technique relies on the voltage mapping of the charged surface of the superstrate glass. The voltage values obtained using ESV at various good and poor performing spots of the cells have been validated using the voltage values obtained in EL analysis. The difference between EL-derived voltage and ESV- measured voltage is determined to be less than 2%. In this work, we combine the strengths of two complementary techniques of ESV (strength: quantitative) and EL (strength: spatial mapping) to obtain a quantitative spatial mapping of defects. This work is further extendable to detect poor performing modules in PV power plants.

Building integrated photovoltaic (BIPV), as a distributed energy resource, can cover a part of the building energy demands and even help achieve the idea of net-zero energy buildings. By connecting with energy storage and grid, the entire BIPV systems have a high demand flexibility potential and can improve building resilience against power outages. Roof BIPVs, though considered as the mainstream, have limited area in high-rise buildings compared with windows, where semi-transparent PVs can play a significant role of energy resources given the considerable vertical window areas in modern urban environment. Material scientists have developed various semi-transparent solar cells with a wide range of power conversion efficiencies (PCEs), and solar and visible transmittance. However, it is not clear about the optimal configurations of semi-transparent solar cells for different types of buildings and climates. To tackle this problem, we conducted a parametric study on PV windows in a reference commercial building considering variables including PCE, solar transmittance, solar absorptance, U factor, daylighting control, window orientations, and climate types. Our model considers the thermal effects of PV windows, i.e., a load or grid connected PV window turns partial solar absorption into electricity instead of heat. The first finding, which differs from roof PVs, is that the vertical solar radiation on east and west facing windows is comparable to that on the south facing windows because the special 90° title angle results in more uniform POA irradiance in different orientations. It means the combination of PV windows in different orientations provide more stable power generation for the building. Results show that the PCE of PV windows dominates the energy saving despite other variables. The balance between solar transmittance and absorptance is also important for energy saving. Slightly higher visible transmittance (0.1) benefits the building energy saving when daylighting control is applied.

In this work, we simulate and analyze the impact of spectral shape on the 2-terminal perovskite/silicon heterojunction tandem solar cell performance. Under the standard test condition (spectrum AM1. $boldsymbol{5}mathbf{G} {100} mathbf{mW}/mathbf{m}^{2}$, 300K), the optimal perovskite thickness of the 2-terminal tandem solar cell to maximize the tandem efficiency is 640 nm. However, we found that this optimal value depends significantly on the actual spectral shape. Specifically, the optimal perovskite thickness obtained is thinner than 640 nm under the blue-rich spectrum while thicker than 640 under the red-rich spectrum. This finding helps design suitable tandem structures in different climatic zones.

We investigate the performance of bifacial white-grid solar modules using a white reflector on the module rear glass along the cell gaps. Considering the optical and long-term reliability properties of different colors, we determine the optimal geometry of the white reflector in ray tracing simulation. Based on these results we build test-modules and compare their performance under standard testing conditions as well as the annual energy yield with bifacial and monofacial references. White-grid modules outperform the bifacial references under single side indoor-measurements achieving a 1.6% higher module power output. Moreover, they improve the annual energy yield by 1.3% for a location in Hamelin. Comparing the performance gain for varying irradiance conditions indicates that white-grid modules are especially advantageous for locations with high fractions of direct sun light or the application on trackers.

Solar power is growing quickly and especially helpful in achieving decarbonization goals. With more installed solar generation capacity, understanding losses becomes increasingly important for optimizing solar development and planning. This paper will attempt to quantify and attribute solar losses globally, focusing on soiling, snow, and temperature as individual losses and how they relate to each other. This will be done by comparing simulated solar power output under a variety of different scenarios with and without the effects of soiling.
