A typical Si-based PV cell will have a form factor, FF=0.7, and an open circuit voltage VOC=0.6 V and a short-circuit current density JSC=30 mA/cm2. What is the maximum real efficiency of this cell? Suppose now that by improving the manufacturing process, you are able to increase the carrier lifetime by a factor of 3. If nothing else is changed in the PV cell design? By how much will the efficiency improve? Hint: JSC is proportional to square root of the carrier life time. You need to carefully think how solar cell work how JSC and VOC will be effected by this change.

2. A solar cell has a short circuit current Isc 2.2 A and an open circuit voltage Voc = 0.6 V at room temperature (293 K). Calculate the output power of the solar cell versus the operation voltage V. Find the maximum outpout power and calculate the fill factor. 4 points 3. A solar cel has a short circuit current Isc2.2 A and an open circuit voltage Voc-0.6V at room temperature (293 K). If the temperature is increased to 400...
