금속기판 염료감응형 태양전지 서브모듈 제작 시, 금속기판 차단층 처리 유,무에 따른 전극 상태를 비교하였다. 차단층은 titanium diisopropoxide bis(acetylacetonate) 용액을 IPA 용매에 녹여 0.15M 농도로 만들어졌으며, 스핀코팅법을 이용하여 금속기판에 박막으로 코팅되었다. 차단층 코팅을 하지 않은 금속기판의 산화전극은 소성 후 깨짐현상이 발생하였으나, 차단층 코팅한 금속기판의 산화전극은 깨짐현상이 발생하지 않았고, 그 기판을 적용하여 염료감응형 태양전지 서브모듈을 제작, 성능 평가를 진행하였다.

본 고에서는 태양전지 모듈 원가의 60% 이상을 차지하는 실리콘 기판의 생산성을 향상시키고 그에 따라 제조단가를 저감시키기 위한 일환으로 최근 들어 일본과 프랑스를 중심으로 중점적으로 기술개발이 이루어지고 있는 EMCC법 (Electro Magnetic Continuous Casting)에 의한 다결정 실리콘 잉고트의 제조기술에 관하여 연구하였다. 특히, 태양전지급의 고순도 잉고트로 제조하기 위해 높은 용융점과 낮은 전기전도도를 갖는 실리콘의 용해 및 주조 공정이 수냉되는 cold crucible 내에서 이루어지게 됨에 따라 발생하는 종래의 EMCC법의 문제점을 해결하고자, 코일전류 및 도가니 구조 등이 Joule 가열 효과 및 pinch 효과에 미치는 영향을 체계적으로 조사하였다. 연구 결과 대용량의 전원장치나 별도의 2차 가열원을 사용하지 않고서도 실리콘 원료의 가열 및 용해 효율을 현격히 향상시키며 용탕의 전 구간에 걸쳐 전자기력을 용탕의 정수압보다 큰 상태로 유지할 수 있는 EMCC용 무접촉성 도가니의 설계기술 및 이를 활용하는 전자기연주공정기술을 확립하였으며, 그 결과 직경 5cm의 실리콘 잉고트를 1,5mm/min의 속도로 무접촉 조건에서 연속주조할 수 있었다.

Improvements in characteristics of a single junction AlGaAs/GaAs solar cell are observed by capping a PMMA lens on it. In order to show the effect of the lens, characteristics of a single junction AlGaAs/GaAs solar cell before and after the lens formation are compared under the one-sun illumination condition ($100mW/cm^2$). Characteristics of the solar cell under very weak illumination condition (about 1200 lux) is also measured with the lighting of a fluorescent desk lamp. About 5% of cell efficiency is improved after the capping of PMMA lens on the single junction AlGaAs solar cell and $83\;{\mu}m/cm^2$ of electrical power was generated with the lighting of a desk lamp.

The purpose of thesis is to improve output of solar cell module by enhancing transmission efficiency. To improve transmission efficiency, transmission interconnection ribbon which is used to connect solar cells and busbar which contacts with it has been improved. To secure reliability, comparison research on output of solar cell modules has been conducted by manufacturing PCB module formed by laminated metal with the same output. The result of this research is based on a output efficiency test of modules by comparing electric conductivity of soldering busbar and laminated PCV type of busbar.

Recently, domestic energy environment is facing new challenges owing to the depletion of fossil fuel such as oil. Renewable energy resources including solar and wind energy are attracting more interests than ever before. However, solar power system is costly in comparison with the conventional power generation systems and also the energy density is low. Furthermore, large area is required in order to install solar power system. Generally, performance of solar power system is affected by weather conditions and alignment of sun and the solar cell modules. In this study, a new type of sun tracking system for solar power system is proposed. To verify the feasibility of the proposed system, actual implementation of prototype system and experiments are carried out.

In solar power system, the height and azimuth of the sun are important parameters which control generated power magnitude. The tracking method that controls the daily generation magnitude according to latitude and longitude using the two axles is often used in the existing sunlight tracking system today. In this two-axle PV track control system, the self-load is concentrated on one FRAME. It is influenced of the regular load, snow load and the wind load, etc. It is difficult to set up the system in the conventional building. This research is a development about the small-scale economy track device of independent load-dispersing solar generation system. The position tracking algorithm is through the new coordinates transformation calculating the height and azimuth of the sun.

In this paper new air-cooling system utilizing Stirling engine was proposed for improving efficiency in solar photovoltaic power generation. The solar cell plate was equipped with semi-circular channel for air flow on the backside. Beta-type Stirling engine was installed on the plate and its flywheel was connected to a motor fan by a transmission belt. A forced convective air flow for heat radiation was generated by the operation of the self-starting Stirling engine. The performance tests for power generation of solar cell with or without the proposed air-cooling system were conducted under halogen lamp. From the experimental results, it was found that decline in output voltage of the solar cell with proposed cooling system was 25% less than that of the solar cell without cooling system.

Recently, attention has been focused on renewable energy and carbon neutrality to resolve fossil energy depletion and environmental problems. In addition, high-rise urban buildings and an increase in building energy are rapidly increasing. There are many restrictions on installing solar power in urban areas. In addition, as buildings become taller, a lot of low-light environments in which shade is formed occur. Therefore, in this study, we intend to develop a power plant capable of generating electric power in an outdoor low-light environment and indoor lighting environment. The power plant in a low-light environment used a dye-sensitized solar cell. A unit cell and a 20cm×20cm module were manufactured, and the electrical characteristics of the power plant were measured using light sources of LED, halogen lamp, and 3-wavelength lamp. The photoelectric conversion efficiency of the unit cell was 17.2%, 1.28%, 19,2% for each LED, halogen lamp, and 3-wavelength lamp, and the photoelectric conversion efficiency of the 20cm×20cm module was 10.9%, 8.7%, and 11.8%, respectively. In addition, the maximum power value of the module was 13.1mW, 15.7 mW, and 14.2 mW for each light source, respectively, confirming the possibility of power generation in a low-light environment

Recently, PV module that the most important part of the photovoltaic system is more widened to lower manufacturing costs for module. However, the broad PV module results to the serious mechanical damage corning from installation circumstances such as snow, wind etc of snow and finally lead to the dramatic degradation of the electrical behavior of PV module. In this paper, 3 kinds of PV modules that consist of the different thickness and area of front glass and the diverse cross sectional structures of the frame are prepared for this experiment. The drooped length and electrical outputs of the PV modules are measured by means of applying 600Pa mechanical load to the PV modules from 1200Pa to 5400Pa base on the mechanical load test procedure of K SC IEG 61215 standard. The simulation data are obtained by the simulation tool as ANSYS and those are validate by comparing with the those experimental results figure out relations between the deformation and the constituent part of PV module.
