Solarus AB PVT cell strings contain 38 solar cells connected in series. Solar cells in the concentrated side of the collector are shaded due to the presence of the aluminium frame of the PVT collector. The effects of shading and of non-uniform illumination are minimized by including bypass diodes.
Moreover, the modelling can be used to define the solar cell string layout associated to different PV collector configurations in order to improve their performance accordingly with he defined requirements.
1954 Photovoltaic technology is born in the United States when Daryl Chapin, Calvin Fuller, and Gerald Pearson develop the silicon photovoltaic (PV) cell at Bell Labs—the first solar cell capable of converting enough of the sun’s energy into power to run everyday electrical equipment.
1958 - T. Mandelkorn, U.S. Signal Corps Laboratories, creates n-on-p silicon solar cells, which are more resistant to radiation damage and are better suited for space. Hoffman Electronics creates 9% efficient solar cells. Vanguard I, the first solar-powered satellite, was launched with a 0.1 W, 100 cm 2 solar panel.
The National Renewable Energy Laboratory achieves a new eficiency record for thin-film photovoltaic solar cells. The measurement of 18.8 percent eficiency for the prototype solar cell topped the previous record by more than 1 percent. Cumulative worldwide installed photovoltaic capacity reaches 1000 megawatts.
1978 NASA’s Lewis Research Center dedicates a 3.5-kilowatt photovoltaic (PV) system it installed on the Papago Indian Reservation located in southern Arizona—the world’s first village PV system. The system is used to provide for water pumping and residential electricity in 15 homes until 1983, when grid power reached the village.
