| Popis: |
We calculate the practical limit of performance enhancement due to the radiative coupling effect for multi-junction solar cells (MJSCs) under a wide range of atmospheric conditions encountered in potential sites for concentrator photovoltaic (CPV) systems. MJSCs with both optimal and sub-optimal band gap combinations with respect to the AM1.5D spectrum were considered. Under realistic atmospheric conditions the relative enhancement to power due to radiative coupling is found to be less than 1% for current matched triple-junction solar cells, whereas enhancement of up to 21% can be expected for non-current matched quad-junction devices. The energy yield improvement over an annual period is calculated. |
