Three-Dimensional Study of the Effect of the Angle of Incidence of a Magnetic Field on the Electrical Power and Conversion Efficiency of a Polycrystalline Silicon Solar Cell under Multispectral Illumination
A three-dimensional approach to the effect of magnetic
field incidence angle on electrical power
and conversion efficiency is performed on a front-illuminated polycrystalline
silicon bifacial solar cell. A solution of the continuity equation allowed us to
present the equations of photocurrent density, photovoltage and electric power.
The influence of the angle of incidence of the magnetic field on the photocurrent
density, the photovoltage and the electric power has been studied. The curves of
electrical power versus dynamic junction velocity were used to extract the values
of maximum electrical power and dynamic junction velocity and to calculate those
of conversion efficiency. From this study, it is found that the conversion efficiency
values increase with the angle of incidence of the magnetic field.
