Performance of CdS/Cu2S Solar Cells under Roof Top Insolation Conditions.

摘要

Solar cell deployment for large-scale terrestrial use has been evaluated in Solar One (the Delaware solar house) for over one year and continues to be evaluated. This report deals with the performance of CdS/Cu2S solar cell series-array panels under roof-top conditions of insolation and temperature. The variations were considered to be associated with variations in the infrared content of the solar spectrum. No overall degradation in output was observed,indicating long life expectancy. However,the conversion efficiencies of CdS/Cu2S solar cell arrays were found to be significantly affected by seasonal variations in the insolation conditions.
