결정질 실리콘 태양전지의 모듈화에는 일반적으로 저철분 강화유리를 사용하고 있으며, 이 경우 모듈화를 위해서는 3-5mm 두께의 강화유리를 EVA film을 사용하여 유리와 solar cell을 접착하는 방법을 사용하고 있다. 본 연구에서는 0.7mm 두께의 강화 유리를 사용하고, EVA film을 사용하지 않는 방법으로 초경량의 모듈을 제작하고, 그 특성을 비교하였다. 그결과 박판강화유리를 이용한 경량 실리콘 태양전지의 모듈화의 가장 큰 문제점으로는 강화유리의 두께가 아주 얇기 때문에 발생하는 module의 bending 현상에 의한 silicon cell의 파괴가 일어나는 경우가 있었으며 이를 위한 bending 방지기술의 개발이 요구되는 것으로 나타났다. 개선효과로는 솔라셀 모듈의 에너지변환효율은 동일한 솔라셀을 사용하여 일반 3mm 급의 저철분강화유리로 제작한 모듈에 비해서 약 20% 개선효과가 있었으며, 경량화에는 Al계 금속 지지대를 제외한 모듈만을 비교하여 무게의 감량을 비교한 결과 70%이상의 감량 효과를 나타내는 것으로 나타났다. 상기 결과로부터 본 연구를 통한 개발품은 BIPV형 solar cell module로 이용가치가 기대된다.

This study was conducted to improve the power of PV module using a surface cooling system. One of the unique characteristics of PV module is power drop as a module surface temperature increases due to the characteristics of crystalline silicon used in a solar cell. To overcome the output power reduction by temperature effect, module surface cooling using water circulation was performed. By cooling effect, module surface temperature drops maximally $20.3^{\circ}C$ predicting more than 10% power enhancement. Maximum deviation of voltage and current between a control and cooled module differed by 5.1V and 0.9A respectively. The maximum power enhancement by cooling system was 12.4% compared with a control module. In addition, cooling system can wash the module surface by water circulation so that extra power up of PV module can be achieved by removing particles on the surface which interfere solar radiation on the cells. Cooling system, besides, can reduce the maintenance cost and prevent accidents as a safety precaution while cleaning works. This system can be applied to the existing photovoltaic power generation facilities without any difficulties as well.

This paper is proposed cooling system of BIPV(Building Integrated Photovoltaic) by micro-controller. The output power of PV generation system is not systematically tracked and influenced by various factors; solar irradiance, solar cell temperature. The temperature of solar module should be minimized to increase electrical output. Therefore, it is proposed that micro-controller cools to decrease temperature of solar module using thermoelement. The validity of this paper is proved by comparing solar module temperature of cooling system and un-cooling system.

Hot air flow simulations of the wet station dryer module for the solar cell cleaning were conducted. Air incident angles such as to the substrates ($45^{\circ}$), to the bottom ($90^{\circ}$), and to the wall ($135^{\circ}$) were considered. Based on the simulated velocity and temperature profiles, appropriate incident angle was proposed, and it was well matched to experimental results. Additionally, uniform and non-uniform air hole sizes of the tube were compared for the uniform air flow distribution through the batch.

As semitransparent dye-sensitized solar cells (DSSCs) have advanced to large-scale applications from lab-level research, the large-scale performance has attracted much attention. Modules of DSSCs have been investigated to optimize the efficiency as a $TiO_2$ systhesis temperature and a surface treatment of $TiCl_4$ aqueous solution. Essentially, these semitransparent modules have an extended structure with lab-scale works with the exception of the dimensions and methods for the series connection. The $5cm{\times}6.5cm$ modules have shown an efficiency of about 6% without a scattering layer. While the fill factors of modules depend on the width of each $TiO_2$ unit cell, they are much less dependent on the lengths of the unit cells.

Development of renewable energy is promoted to achieve sustainability. So researchers are seeking and developing a new, clean, safe and renewable energy. However, solar energy is an extreme intermittent and inconstant energy source. In order to improve the photovoltaic system efficiency and utilize the solar energy more fully, and the DC power vary with module temperature, it is necessary to study the characteristics of photovoltaic P-V according to the external factors. This paper presents the analysis of characteristics of photovoltaic P-V according to the module temperature. The results show that it seems that when the module temperature increases, the DC power increases. But actually, because when the irradiation increases, the DC power increases, the result of the relationship between DC power and the module temperature of solar cell will be effects by the increasing irradiation.

This study is a study on the building integrated method of Photovoltaic. It was analyzed into a basic installation condition and an integrated form in this study. And it was confirmed through the 3D simulation & drawing work of an integrated situation to the real domestic building. The Photovoltaic installation of the country to an optimal efficiency for the year must be installed to the due south with an angle of thirty degrees. And also a module spacing must be more than doubled from the bottom to the top of module to prevent from efficiency falling by a shadow of photovoltaic module in a roof setting of flat roof. If Photovoltaic module is an adequate material that is a basic requirement as a building's finishing material, it's not only an efficiency of alternation with an existing finishing material but also a building's design element.
