HIGH EFFICIENCY SILICON SOLAR CELLS

Abstract

An additional mirror was added to the solar concentrator equipment so that is possible to make solar cell measurements at approximately 5 gm- calories/sq cm/min solar intensity. The concentrator was used to verify the sunlight power predictions made from tungsten power measurements during the P() /N bivariable experiment. A general equation was developed for the theoretical determination of the total cell series resistance from a knowledge of the values of the component resistances. The equations were utilized to predict the series resistance of produc tion type N()/P and N()/N cells.
