Abstract
The properties of 915nm laser power beaming to monocrystal silicon solar cells are investigated by measuring IV curves, temperature and etc. With the illumination intensity increased from 0.04W/cm2 to 0.58W/cm2, short-circuit current increases almost linearly from 0.14A to a maximum value of 3.07A. While the maximum power output peaks at a lower irradiation intensity of 0.46W/cm2, which can be also regarded as a turning point where IV curves begin to deteriorate from normal ones to oblique lines. During the period, the fill factor decreases continuously from around 74% to a stable value of 25%. To understand the experiment more clearly, theoretical analyses are conducted by virtue of Lambert W function. Based on the analyses, it can be concluded that the primary culprits influencing the cell’s output performance are the temperature and series resistance.
