  4. 1. Solar Cell Physics • Solar Cell and Photoelectric Effect • The p/n-Junction • Solar Cell Characteristics Clemson Summer School Dr. Karl Molter / FH Trier / molter@fh-trier.de

  5. History • 1839: Discovery of the photoelectric effect by Bequerel • 1873: Discovery of the photoelectric effect of Selen (change of electrical resistance) • 1954: First Silicon Solar Cell as a result of the upcoming semiconductor technology ( = 5 %) Clemson Summer School Dr. Karl Molter / FH Trier / molter@fh-trier.de

  6. h • Light absorption • Generation of „free“ charges + • effective separation of the charges - Solar Cell and Photoelectric Effect Result: wearless generation of electrical Power by light absorption Clemson Summer School Dr. Karl Molter / FH Trier / molter@fh-trier.de

  8. energy-states in solids:Insulator electron-energy conduction-band bandgap EG (> 5 eV) Fermi- level EF valence-band Clemson Summer School Dr. Karl Molter / FH Trier / molter@fh-trier.de

  9. Terms: Fermilevel EF: limit between occupied and non occupied energy-states at T = 0 K (absolute zero) valence-band: completely occupied energy-band just be- low the Ferminiveau at T = 0 K, the electrons are „fixed“ inside the atomic structure conduction-band: energy-band just above the valence-band, the electrons can move „freely“ bandgap EG:distance between valance-band and conduction band Clemson Summer School Dr. Karl Molter / FH Trier / molter@fh-trier.de

  10. energy-states in solids :metal / conductor electron-energy Fermi- level EF conduction-band Clemson Summer School Dr. Karl Molter / FH Trier / molter@fh-trier.de

  11. energy-states in solids:semiconductor electron-energy conduction-band bandgap EG ( 0,5 – 2 eV) Fermi- level EF valence-band Clemson Summer School Dr. Karl Molter / FH Trier / molter@fh-trier.de

  12. Electron-Energy At T=0 (absolute zero of temperature) the electrons occupy the lowest possible energy-states. They can now gain energy in two ways: • Thermal Energy: kT (k = Boltzmanns Constant, 1.381x10-23 J/K, T = absolute temperature in Kelvin) • Light quantum absorption: h (h = Plancks Constant, h = 6.626x10-34 Js,  = frequency of the light quantum in s-1). If the energy absorbed by the electron exceeds that of the bandgap, they can leave the valence-band and enter the conduction-band: Clemson Summer School Dr. Karl Molter / FH Trier / molter@fh-trier.de

  14. energy-states in semiconductorsphysical properties: thermal viewpoint: The larger the bandgap the lower is the conductivity. Increasing temperature reduces the electrical resistance (NTC, negative temperature coefficient resistor) optical viewpoint: the larger the bandgap the lower is the absorption of light quantums. Increasing light irradiation decreases the electrical resistance (Photoresistor) Clemson Summer School Dr. Karl Molter / FH Trier / molter@fh-trier.de

  15. IIIB IVB VB Si B P 14 5 15 doping of semiconductors In order to avoid recombination of photo-induced charges and to „extract“ their energy to an electric-device we need a kind of internal barrier. This can be achieved by doping of semiconductors: „Doping“ means in this case the replacement of original atoms of the semiconductor by different ones (with slightly different electron configuration). Semiconductors like Silicon have four covalent electrons, doping is done e.g. with Boron or Phosphorus: Clemson Summer School Dr. Karl Molter / FH Trier / molter@fh-trier.de

  26. Solar cell characteristics • The fillfactor (FF) of a solar-cell is the relation of electrical power generated (PMPP) and the product of short current IK and open-circuit voltage U0 • FF = PMPP / U0 IK • The solar-cell efficiencyis the relation of the electrical power generated (PMPP) and the light irradiance (AGG,g) impinging on the solar-cell : •  = PMPP / AGG,g Clemson Summer School Dr. Karl Molter / FH Trier / molter@fh-trier.de
