6 FAQs about [High-capacitance solar cells for photovoltaic modules]

Does solar cell capacitance affect electrical characterization of photovoltaic (PV) modules?

The effect of solar cell capacitance in the electrical characterization of photovoltaic (PV) modules at Standard Test Conditions (STC) is known since the 1990s.

Do solar cells have diffusion capacitance?

Diffusion capacitance is present in all solar cells, however this is notably larger in higher eficiency (and higher open-circuit voltage VOC) solar cell technologies.

Is a single diode capacitive model sufficient?

The single diode capacitive model is suficient to describe the effect at module level. In this paper, we suggested to intro-duce the effective cell capacitance per unit cell area: values at maximum power point have been measured on a set of 10 c-Si modules, including products with high capacitance.

What is a capacitor in a PV device?

The capacitor represents the accumulation of charges in the PV device. The capacitance of a PV device is attributed to both junction capacitance and diffusion capacitance, both of which are voltage dependent.

Do high-eficiency solar cells cause transient loss of power?

It is well-known at least since the 1990s that the cell diffusion capacitance in high-eficiency solar cells gener-ates transient loss (or gain) of power when these products are electrically characterized with fast voltage sweeps.

Does cell capacitance affect the measurement of pMPP?

Eight methods to address and mitigate the effect of cell capacitance in the measurement of Pmpp in the experimental practice were reviewed, highlighting their weaknesses and strengths. Finally, a comprehensive uncertainty analysis was pro-posed, summarizing results from the theory and experi-mental practice.
