태양전지(Photovoltaic, PV) 모듈의 층간 접착제로 사용된 EVA(Ethylene Vinyl Acetate)를 초음파 조사(irradiation)를 이용하여, 선택적으로 분해함으로써 모듈 내 실리콘웨이퍼(Si-wafer)로 제조된 셀(cell)을 분리, 회수하는 연구를 진행하였다. 본 실험에 사용한 초음파 발생장치는 bath-type의 초음파 세척기 (Output: 130 W, Frequency: 40 kHz)로, PV모듈과의 거리는 2 cm로 고정하고 유기용매 종류, 농도, 온도를 조절하면서 EVA 분해 및 셀의 분리 최적 조건을 도출하였다. $55^{\circ}C$, 5M인 조건에서는 용매 종류에 상관없이 160 min 이내에 EVA층의 완전 분해는 가능하였으나, 분해과정 중 발현되는 팽창현상(swelling)에 의해 셀의 일부분이 파손된 상태로 회수되었다. 반면에 $65^{\circ}C$, 5M조건에서는 셀의 파손이 억제된 상태로 회수 가능하였으며, 이는 온도 상승에 의해 EVA 성분의 분해속도가 상승되고, 이로 인해 EVA층의 팽창현상이 발현되기 전에 분해가 일어난 결과라고 판단된다.

This study aims to examine the effect of the combined application of green roof and PV system on the PV efficiency by measuring the temperature and performance of PV module in order to reduce the temperature on the roof using roof planting system and determine the potential of efficient increase in solar-light power generation. In the experimental methodology, either monocrystalline or polycrystalline PV module was installed in green roof or non-green roof, and then the surface temperature of PV was measured by TR-71U thermometer and again the performance, module body temperature, and conversion efficiency were measured by MP-160, TC selector MI-540, and PV selector MI-520, respectively. As a result, the average body temperature of monocrystalline module was lower by $6.5^{\circ}C$ in green roof than in non-green roof; that of polycrystalline module was lower by $8.8^{\circ}C$ in green roof than in non-green roof. In the difference of generation, the electricity generation of monocrystalline module in green roof was 46.13W, but that of polycrystalline module was 68.82 W, which indicated that the latter produced 22.69W more than the former.

This paper presents the results of changes of optical properties of front materials in crystalline PV modules. If PV modules on the outdoor, transmittance of front materials is reduced by solar light. That is UV, IR included Solar spectrum will have change the properties of glass. Therefore decrease in transmittance leads to loss of the PV modules output. All the PV modules showed the loss in Isc by 1~5% within few hors. To investigate the changes we are analyzed using spectrophotometer from raw glass to laminated glass.

Hybrid PV/Thermal systems consisting of photovoltaic module and thermal collector can produce the electricity and thermal energy. The solar radiation increases the temperature of PV modules, resulting in the decrease of their electrical efficiency. Accordingly hot air can be extracted from the space between the PV panel and roof, so the efficiency of the PV module increases. The extracted thermal energy can be used in several ways, increasing the total energy output of the system. This study describes a basic type of PV/T collector using water. In order to analyze the performance of the collector, the experiment was conducted. The result showed that the thermal efficiency was 17% average and the electrical efficiency of the PV module was about $10.2%{\sim}11.5%$, both depending on solar radiation, inlet water temperature and ambient temperature.

The efficiency of solar cell was about 4[%] in initial stage of photovoltaic industry, but it has quite a lot of efficiency through technology advances. Today, the efficiency of c-Si solar cells is about 17 to 19[%] and the efficiency of PV modules is about 14 to 15 [%]. We called that electrical losses occurred in the Conversion of solar cells to PV modules are CTM loss(Cell To Module loss), the CTM loss typically has a value of about3~5[%]. The more efficiency of solar cell increase, differences are larger because the efficiency decrease owing to physical or technical problems occurred in the Conversion of solar cells to PV modules. In this study, the power loss factors occurred in the Conversion of solar cells to PV modules are analyzed and it is proposed that how to reduce losses of the PV module. The types of power loss factor are (1)losses of front glass and encapsulant(generally EVA sheet), (2)losses by sorting miss, (3)losses by interconnection, (4)losses by the field aging of PV modules. In further study, experimental and evaluation will be conducted to make demonstrate for proposed solutions.

태양광 발전 시스템이 대용량화됨에 따라 태양전지 어레이 구성 시 부정합(mismatch) 문제가 대두되는 가운데, 태양전지 모듈을 직접 계통에 연계하는 AC 모듈형 태양광 모듈 집적형 전력변환장치(PV-MIC)에 관한 연구가 지속되고 있다. PV-MIC는 수명 및 고효율이 가장 큰 문제이며 이 문제를 해결하기 위해서 본 논문에서는 ZVS 동작을 통하여 스위칭 손실을 저감시키고 입력전류 리플감소를 통하여 입력 커패시턴스를 저감할 수 있는 능동 클램프 전류원 하프 브릿지 컨버터를 적용한 PV-MIC를 제안하고, 이에 관한 제어분담 및 설계에 대하여 고찰한다.

Abstract Under the physical stress on photovoltaic (PV) module, it will be warped according to elongation of the front glass and then micro-crack will be occurred in the thermally sealed solar cell. This micro-crack leads to drop of short circuit current of the PV module. This is because of increase of resistance component by micro-crack. Micro-crack at specific solar cell in the module lessens the durability of PV module with reduced output, hot-spot caused by solar cell output mismatch and increased resistance component. This study shows the relation between electrical characteristics and micro- cracks due to mechanical stress on PV module.

The photovoltaic modules are affected by heat. The hotter the PV module, the lower the power output, then the life time will be short. If the cell temperature rises above a certain limit the encapsulating materials can be damaged, and this will degrade the performance of the PV module. This paper presents that the PV module temperature can be estimated by using thermal analysis programs, and demonstrates the thermal characteristics of the PV module.
