The future of energy generation is well in tune with the critical needs of the global economy, leading to more green innovations and emissions-abatement technologies. Introducing concentrated photovoltaics (CPVs) is one of the most promising technologies owing to its high photo-conversion efficiency. Although most researchers use silicon and cadmium telluride for CPV, we investigate the potential in nascent technologies, such as perovskite solar cell (PSC). This work constitutes a preliminary investigation into a "large-area" PSC module under a Fresnel lens (FL) with a "refractive optical concentrator-silicon-on-glass" base to minimize the PV performance and scalability trade-off concerning the PSCs. The FL-PSC system measured the solar current-voltage characteristics in variable lens-to-cell distances and illuminations. The PSC module temperature was systematically studied using the COMSOL transient heat transfer mechanism. The FL-based technique for "large-area" PSC architectures is a promising technology that further facilitates the potential for commercialization.
能源生产的未来与全球经济的关键需求高度契合,从而催生了更多绿色创新和减排技术。引入聚光光伏(CPV)是最具前景的技术之一,因其具有高光电转换效率。尽管大多数研究人员将硅和碲化镉用于CPV,但我们研究了新兴技术的潜力,如钙钛矿太阳能电池(PSC)。这项工作是对一种“大面积”PSC模块的初步研究,该模块置于菲涅耳透镜(FL)之下,并以“折射光学聚光器 - 玻璃上硅”为基础,以尽量减少与PSC相关的光伏性能和可扩展性之间的权衡。FL - PSC系统测量了可变透镜与电池距离和光照条件下太阳能的电流 - 电压特性。利用COMSOL瞬态传热机制对PSC模块温度进行了系统研究。基于FL的“大面积”PSC架构技术是一项很有前景的技术,它进一步推动了商业化的潜力。
