Modeling and Simulation of Perovskite/Silicon tandem junction solar cell by MATLAB/SIMULINK

초록/요약

The main objective of this work is to define the I-V and P-V curves of the tandem junction perovskite/silicon and to extract the maximum values of voltage, current and maximum power. The study reveals and examines the environmental conditions that influence solar cells, such as temperature and irradiance. The performance of the tandem junction solar cell is estimated by analyzing the fill factor, which is an important indicator of the quality of the cell, it is a practical concept for determining and evaluating two photovoltaic cells in terms of performance. Then, we calculate the efficiency of the assembly of Perovskite/Silicon solar cells. In this work, the analysis of the tandem junction performed by MATLAB software simulation. Finally, we address the challenges of perovskite-based tandems to project perovskite-based tandems at a high efficiency of over 26% and attain market competitiveness.
