Designing tandem junction cells for a higher heat environment



With the current lack of silicon accessibility researchers around the world have been seeming for new ways in which they can optimize the performance of silicon based photovoltaics. It is with this idea in mind that we have selected to follow thin film amorphous silicon as an alternative of the commonly used, yet more pricey, crystalline silicon solar cells. Our design is based on the idea that an amorphous silicon (a-Si) device will carry out better than that of a crystalline (c-Si) device at remarkably advanced temperatures. We have broken down the three major features of our final project design below for a more in-depth design portrayal.
