The principles governing the performance of silicon solar cells are reviewed with emphasis
on clarifying the essential concepts. Principal attention is devoted to the planar p− n junction …

The effect of the temperature-dependent solar cell parameters on the open-circuit voltage of
n+-pp+ solar cells at medium and high levels of illumination is studied. The effects of …

It is well known that the open-circuit voltage of pn junction solar cells is decreased with
increasing temperature, I-5 and the short-circuit current is slightly increased with increasing …

The variation in the short-circuit current density J sc, the open-circuit voltage V oc and the
efficiency η with the base thickness of an n+-pp+ back-surface field (BSF) solar cell with a …

The built-in voltage of a semiconductor pn junction is a fundamental parameter, the study of
which is helpful in understanding and sometimes predicting the behavior of these devices …
