Abstract:
The mathematical modeling of the characteristics of solar cell materials by considering several factors like material properties, geometrical parameters, shape factors and other environmental variables is described in this paper. An equation based on certain assumptions to simulate the real operating conditions is formulated to the performance of a solar cell. The graphical plots for Carnot efficiency are obtained for different permutations and combinations to indicate the reasons for actual operating conditions, prevailing environmental conditions and also material properties of a solar cell.
