This paper studies stand-alone photovoltaic array for solar lighting lamp. The solar lighting lamp has PV modules, batteries. and charge & discharge system. The charge efficiency is improved for the control of each battery which is divided the charge from the discharge to change the structure of existing solar lighting lamp charge & discharge system. so, the charge and discharge times are reduced of 50%. and the depth of discharge control can be controlled in the discharge cut off voltage. This can be effective of battery use. If a battery is out of order, this system can be executed for a regular period. so we saved the repair cost and developed of system's stabilization. It is possible economical effect to apply for solar lighting lamp used photovoltaic array.

Long-term stability of dye-sensitized solar cell (DSSC) module is critical for the commercialization. We investigated the effect of sealing technology on the long-term stability of the $10cm{\times}11cm$ sized DSSC modules. We applied the concept of secondary sealing to the module and then performed several stability tests such as humidity cycle, 1 sun light soaking and outdoor stability tests. The enhanced stability was confirmed for the DSSC module employing optimized sealing materials and architectures.

본 연구에서는 알루미늄 반사판을 이용한 저집속 (2.25X) 집광형 태양광 모듈을 설계 및 제작하여 실증 연구를 실시하였다. 반사판을 이용한 집광형PV시스템의 성능향상을 평가하기 위하여, 일사량과 모듈온도 변화에 따른 출력변화와 효율변화를 평판형 모듈과 집광형 모듈에 대해서 각각 측정하고 비교하였다. 결과적으로 반사판을 사용 집속한 모듈이 약 20% 이상의 출력 증가를 보였으며, 모듈의 평균 온도 상승에도 불구하고 1.4 배의 발전효율 증가를 확인하였다.

Optical modeling and characterization of transparent dye-sensitized solar cells (DSC) are presented to design and estimate DSC devices numerically. In order to model the inhomogeneous active layer of DSC, the porous structure of titanium oxide ($TiO_2$) and dye mixture, we prepared films consisting of layer by layer of the DSC's basic materials sequentially, and characterized the optical parameters of the films with the effective refractive index, which was extracted from the transmittance and reflectance measurements in ultra violet to near infra-red range. By using the effective refractive index, we made the optical model for DSC, and demonstrated that the optical model based on effective refractive index can be used to design and evaluate the performance of transparent-type DSC modules.

The aim of this study is to develop the photovoltaic simulation program, called SimPV, which can Predict hourly based power generation of various PV modules and conduct an intensive economic analysis with Korean situation. To establish the reliability of the PV simulation results, we adopt the PV calculation algorithm of TRNSYS program of which verification has already well approved. Extensive database for hourly weather data of Korean 16 cities, engineering data for PV system and building load profiles are established. Case study on the 2.5kW roof integrated PV system and economic analysis are presented with the developed program.

This paper presents a method for determining the optimum active-area width (OAW) of solar cells in a module architecture. The current density-voltage curve of a reference cell with a narrow active-area width is used to reproduce the current density profile in the test cell whose active area width is to be optimized. We obtained self-consistent current density and electric potential profiles from iterative calculations of both properties, considering the distributed resistance of the contact layers. Further, we determined the OAW that yields the maximum efficiency by calculating efficiency as a function of the active-area width. The proposed method can be applied to the design of the active area of a dye-sensitized solar cell in Z-type series connection modules for indoor and building-integrated photovoltaic systems. Our calculations predicted that OAW increases as the sheet resistances of the contact layers and the intensity of light decrease.

It is well known that the efficiency of photovoltaic modules decreases with an increase of temperature. In this paper, both efficiency and maximum power(Pm) variation with temperature are investigated using numerical simulation. Various carrier transport mechanisms and several recombination parameters of all the cell materials are taken into account. The theoretical result are compared with the reference data and they are shown to agree quite well over a wide range of temperatures.

This paper presents manufacturing techniques and distribution status of photovoltaic(PV) module for the success of domestic PV industries. The domestic PV production facilities were about 21MW at the end of 2004. Now it is about 51MW. By 2005 a increase of production facilities expect approximately 70$\sim$80MW. Also domestic PV cumulated installations up to 2004 was about 9,358kW and in 2004 PV system installed around 2,921kW which was increased about 2.8 times compared with last year.
