A cell-to-module-to-array detailed model for photovoltaic panels

Solar Energy, 2012
Abstract This paper presents a modified current–voltage relationship for the single-diode model. The single-diode model has been derived from the well-known equivalent circuit for a single photovoltaic (PV) cell. A cell is defined as the semiconductor device that converts sunlight into electricity. A PV module refers to a number of cells connected in

Static concentrator photovoltaic module with prism array

Solar Energy Materials and Solar Cells, 2001
To obtain cost-effective photovoltaic modules, we have developed static prism-array concentrator modules consisting of prism concentrators about 4 mm thick assembled unidirectionally under a 3.2-mm-thick cover glass. Calculating the optical collection efficiency for the annual solar irradiation in Tokyo, we found that the theoretical efficiency of the ...

Self-Cleaning Microcavity Array for Photovoltaic Modules

ACS Applied Materials & Interfaces, 2018
Development of self-cleaning coatings is of great interest for the photovoltaic (PV) industry, as soiling of the modules can significantly reduce their electrical output and increase operational costs. We fabricated flexible polymeric films with novel disordered microcavity array (MCA) topography from fluorinated ethylene propylene (FEP) by hot ...

Module to array design for bifacial photovoltaics

OSA Advanced Photonics Congress (AP) 2019 (IPR, Networks, NOMA, SPPCom, PVLED), 2019
Here, I discuss the potential for designing bifacial photovoltaic modules to balance electrical and optical losses using interdigitated back contacts, and then extend this concept to the bifacial panel arrays.

Development of a Low-Cost Fault Detector for Photovoltaic Module Array [PDF]

open access: yesElectronics, 2019
This study proposes a binary search-based fault detection system for photovoltaic (PV) modules to ameliorate the deficiencies in the existing fault detectors for PV module arrays. The proposed system applies a single-chip microcontroller to execute the binary search algorithm.

Removal of the hot-spot problem in photovoltaic modules and arrays

Solar Cells, 1991
Abstract High power photovoltaic generators are installed nowadays. Reliability of continuous operation of this system is the prime consideration. Shadowing and thermal disequilibrium are the major constraints. Shadowing is the normal event in a photovoltaic system, causing thermal disequilibrium which produces excess heat at the shadowed cell.

Encapsulated photovoltaic blankets and modules for deployable solar arrays

2015 IEEE 42nd Photovoltaic Specialist Conference (PVSC), 2015
Large-area deployable solar arrays offer sizable advancements in stowed volumetric power and as-deployed specific power compared to conventional rigid solar arrays, but the traditional cell-interconnect-coverglass (CIC) scheme is no longer optimized for these embodiments.
