Predicting energy yield of outdoor Si-based PV installations for Belgium and Vietnam regions at arbitrary tilt and orientation

Over the past decade, photovoltaic solar energy (PV) has been achieved great developments in terms of performance enhancement, cost reduction and scale of deployment. A wide range of materials, device technologies and architectures have been applied to fabricate higher efficiency and lower cost PV. Consequently, Silicon-based single-junction PV, which are dominating the PV industry, are approaching their fundamental efficiency limit of 29.4%. To overcome this barrier, multi-junction or tandem solar cells, which consist of a thin film wide-bandgap top cell and a silicon bottom cell, are very pr... Mehr ...
