A new model about output power prediction of PV module with various tilted angles and cell to cell distances has been proposed in this paper. Light intensity arrived on a solar cell could be changed by characteristics of PV module materials. Refractive indices, thickness and absorption coefficients of glass, EVA, solar cell and Backsheet are used to predict output. Also, the incident angle of light is changed 0 to 90[$^{\circ}$] and cell to cell distances are 5, 10 15[mm]. Two types of light incident on a solar cell are considered which are direct to a solar cell and reflected from Backsheet. The intensity of the incident light directly into the solar cell is reduced through glass and EVA about 17.5[%] in theoretical way. It has an error of 2.26[%] compared with experimental result. The results for compare theoretical with experimental data is validated within the error of 6.3[%]. This paper would be a research material to predict output power when the PV module is installed outdoor or a building.

The solar cell is a device to convert light energy into electric, which supplies power to the external load when exposed to the incident light. The photocurrent and voltage occurred in the device are significant factors to decide the output power of solar cells. The crystalline silicon solar cell module has photocurrent loss due to light reflections on the glass and EVA(Ethylene Vinyl Acetate). These photocurrent loss would be a hinderance for high-efficiency solar cell module. In this paper, the quantitative analysis for the photocurrent losses in the 300-1200 wavelength region was performed. The simulation method with MATLAB was used to analyze the reflection on a front glass and EVA layer. To investigate the intensity of light that reached solar cells in PV(Photovoltaic) module, the reflectance and transmittance of PV modules was calculated using the Fresnel equations. The simulated photocurrent in each wavelength was compared with the output of real solar cells and the manufactured PV module to evaluate the reliability of simulation. As a result of the simulation, We proved that the optical loss largely occurred in wavelengths between 300 and 400 nm.

결정질 실리콘 태양전지 공정 중 텍스쳐 공정은 표면에서 반사되는 반사광을 줄여 단락전류(Isc)를 증가시킨다. 표면 텍스쳐 형성 방식으로는 일반적으로 습식 식각(Wet etching) 공정과 건식 식각(Reactive ion etching:RIE) 공정이 있다. 습식 식각 공정은 식각 용액을 사용하는 공정이며 건식 식각 공정은 플라즈마를 통하여 식각하는 공정으로 습식 식각 공정의 경우 식각 용액에 의한 공정상 위험도가 높으며, 용액의 폐기물에 의한 환경오염 문제가 크다. 건식 식각공정의 경우 습식 식각과 달리 공정상 위험도가 낮으며 불규칙적인 결정방향에 영향 받지 않는 비등방성 식각이 가능하여 다결정 실리콘 태양전지의 경우 습식 식각 공정보다 반사광이 적어 단락전류가 증가하게 된다. 그리고 태양전지를 Photovoltaic module로 만들게 되면 태양전지의 효율이 떨어지는데 이것을 Cell to module loss (CTM loss)라 부르며 이는 태양전지의 발전량을 줄이는 큰 원인이 된다. CTM loss의 경우 습식 식각 공정보다 건식 식각 공정에서 더 크게 나타나며 건식 식각 공정한 PV module의 경우 CTM loss로 인해 습식 식각 공정을 통한PV module와 비슷한 효율을 내게 된다. 본 연구에서는 식각 공정의 방식에 따라 나타나는CTM loss 중 광 손실 원인을 외부양자효율(External Quantum Efficiency)과 투과율(Transmittance), 반사율(Reflectance) 등 광 특성 통하여 분석한다.

In this study, the characteristics of anti-pollution coatings on glass substrates through annealing treatment were investigated. To investigate the change of properties by coating method and number of annealing treatment, after the anti-pollution coating was performed on the surface of glass substrate in three ways, the annealing treatment was performed by setting three kinds of annealing treatment conditions. The annealing treatment method is a torch using gas, which is advantage in that it can be installed directly on the site in an easy way compared with a annealing treatment process which is generally difficult. The anti-pollution properties, contact angle, transmittance, hardness, and adhesion of films on glass substrate were measured under 9 conditions of combination of coating methods and annealing treatment conditions. It was confirmed that as the number of annealing treatment increases, the anti-pollution property of the film synthesized on glass substrate becomes better.

본 연구에서는 열충격 시험을 통하여 Cell레벨에서의 효율저하 특성을 분석하였다. 열충격 시험은 PV모듈의 시험 규격인 KS C IEC-61215를 이용하여 보다 가혹한 조건인 $-40^{\circ}C$에서 $120^{\circ}C$의 조건으로 500사이클 수행하였다. I-V 측정을 통하여 효율을 분석한 결과, 열충격 시험 전 13.9%에서 열충격 시험 후 11.0%로 효율이 저하 됐으며, 감소율은 20.9% 나타났다.EL촬영을 통해 표면을 분석한 결과 Ribbon접합부 및 Gridfinger의 손상으로 확인 됐으며, 보다 정확한 효율 저하의 원인을 분석하기 위해 단면분석을 실시한 결과 표면손상으로 확인 되었던 위치의 Cell내부에서도 Crack을 확인 할 수 있었다. 또한 FF값을 분석한 결과 열충격 시험 전 72.3%에서 시험 후 62.0%로 11.8%의 감소율을 보였다. 따라서, 경년 시 나타나는 효율저하는 Cell자체의 소모전력 증가와 외부환경에 의한 표면 손상 및 Cell내부의 Crack에 기인하여 가속된다고 판단된다.

This study investigated the pressing conditions in the molding of aspheric glass lenses for the mega pixel phone camera module using the DOE method. Tungsten carbide (WC; Japan, Everloy Co., 002K),which contained 0.5 w% cobalt (Co), was used to build the mold. The mold surface was ultra-precision ground and polished, and its form accuracy (PV) was 0.85um in aspheric surface. We selected four factors, pressing temperature, force and time of first step, and force of second step, respectively, as the parameters of the pressing process. in order to reduce the number of experiments, we applied fractional factorial design considering the main effects and two-way interactions. The analysis results indicate that the only two main effects, the pressing temperature and the time of pressing step 1, are available for the form accuracy (PV) of the molded lens. The analysis results indicated that the best combination of the factors for lowering the form accuracy(PV) value of molded lens was to have them at their low levels.

In order to perform photovoltaic (PV) operation and management (O&M) efficiently, individual PV module monitoring is becoming more important. In this research, we developed wireless IoT sensor which can monitor individual photovoltaic modules. This IoT sensor can detect the output voltage, current and module temperature of individual modules and provide monitored data by wireless communication. Measured voltage error was 1.23%, and it shows 16.6 dBM, 0.42sec and 7.1 mA for voltage, transmittance output, response time and mean power consumption, respectively. IoT sensors were demonstrated in the test field with real climate environment condition and each of 5 sensors showed precise results of voltage, current and temperature. Also, sensors were compared with commercial power-optimizers and showed result difference within 5%.

The purpose of this study is to analyze the electrical performance characteristics of semi-transparent BIPV modules. This study dealt with four different types of semi-transparent PV modules depending on the backside glass material, such as clear glass, bronze glass, reflecting glass and low-e glass. The monitoring data shows that the PV module temperature and solar radiation were closely related to the electrical performance of the modules.
