Microcrystalline silicon(c-Si:H) thin-film solar cells are prepared with intrinsic Si-layer by hot wire CVD. The operating parameters of solar cells are strongly affected by the filament temperature ($T_f$) during intrinsic layer. Jsc and efficiency abruptly decreases with elevated $T_f$ to $1400^{\circ}C$. This deterioration of solar cell parameters are resulted from increase of crystalline volume fraction and corresponding defect density at high $T_f$. The heater temperature ($T_h$) are also critical parameter that controls device operations. Solar cells prepared at low $T_h$ ($<200^{\circ}C$) shows a similar operating properties with devices prepared at high $T_f$, i.e. low Jsc, Voc and efficiency. The origins for this result, however, are different with that of inferior device performances at high $T_f$. In addition the phase transition of the silicon films occurs at different silane concentration (SC) by varying filament temperature, by which highest efficiency with SC varies with $T_f$.

This paper presents the deposition of ${\mu}c$-Si:H thin-film and fabrication of a solar cell by VHF-PECVD method. The ${\mu}c$-Si:H thin films and pin-type solar cells are fabricated using multi-chamber cluster tool system. A 7.4% conversion efficiency was achieved from ${\mu}c$-Si:H thin film solar cells with total thickness less than $5{\mu}m$. The physical characteristic was measured by Raman spectroscopy, Solar cell characteristic was measured under AM1.5 illumination.

The crystalline silicon solar cell was one of the first to be developed and it is still the most widely used type. The photovoltaic cells will exhibit long-term degradation if the temperature exceed a certain limit. The purpose of this study is to investigate the possible of improving the performance of a photovoltaic cooling system. According to the results of the experiment, the thermal degradation of 44.63degrees was observed by cooling on the surface of photovoltaic cells. It is a decrease of 22.215percent of generating power. It is shown that photovoltaic cooling system is effected on improving the effectiveness of a photovoltaic out of power.

Two dimensional transition-metal dichalcogenides (TMDs) semiconductors are attractive materials for optoelectric devices because of their direct energy bandgap and transparency. To investigate the feasibility of transparent p-n junctions, we have fabricated a p-n heterojunction consisting of p-type WSe2 and n-type MoS2 flakes since WSe2 and MoS2 with proper electrode metals exhibit p-type and n-type behaviors, respectively. These heterojunctions exhibits gate-tunable rectifying behaviors and photovoltaic effects (ECE ~ 0.2%) indicating that p-n junctions were formed. In addition, photocurrent and photovoltaic effects were observed under light illumination, which were dependent on the gate voltage. In addition, the photocurrent mapping images indicate that the photovoltaic effects comes from the junction area. Possible origins of gate-tunability are discussed.

Organic photovoltaic cells (OPV) have been extensively studied due to their unique properties such as flexibility, light-weight, easy processability, cost-effectiveness, and being environmental friendly. These advantages make them an attractive candidate for application in various novel fields and promising development with new features. Photovoltaic cell-integrated textiles have greatly attractive features as a power source for the smart textile solutions, and OPV is most ideal form factor due to advantage of flexibility. In this study, we develop a textile-based OPV through various experimental methods and we suggest the direction for the design of the photovoltaic textile. We used a textile electrode and tried to various layouts for textile-based OPV. Finally, we determined the contact area by using Hertzian theory for the calculation of power conversion efficiency (PCE). Based on the results of calculation, the short circuit current density, Isc, was $13.11mA/cm^2$ under AM 1.5condition and the PCE was around 2.5%.

The PC1D is widely used for modeling the properties of crystalline silicon solar cell. Optimized doping profile in crystalline silicon solar cell fabrication is necessary to obtain high conversion efficiency. Doping profile in the forms of a uniform, gaussian, exponential and erfc function can be simulated using the PC1D program. In this paper, the doping profiles including junction depth, dopant concentration on surface and the form of doping profile (gaussian, gaussian+erfc function) were changed to study its effect on electrical properties of solar cell. As decreasing junction depth and doping concentration on surface, electrical properties of solar cell were improved. The characteristics for the solar cells with doping profile using the combination of gaussian and erfc function showed better open-circuit voltage, short-circuit current and conversion efficiency.

In case of the silicon solar panel being used in Korea, the production specification is designed to give maximum output at the limit of -0.5 to 0.05℃, so the output of 0.45~0.55% decreases when the temperature rises by 1℃. As a result, the photovoltaic power generation is reduced according to the surface temperature rise of the photovoltaic module due to the characteristics of the solar cell. The decrease in output reduces the efficiency of photovoltaic power generation, and if the efficiency decreases, the result is that the profit of electricity sales according to the amount of photovoltaic power generation decreases. Therefore, this paper proposes a method of spraying cooling air to the lower (or surrounding) of the photovoltaic module when it is identified above the set temperature by the temperature detection sensor. In addition, the amount of power generated is increased by utilizing the lost solar energy, and by applying cooling function through cooling air, the power generation can be further increased.
