TL;DR: This review provides complete and representative input parameter sets to simulate six major types of crystalline silicon solar cells to provide a sensible and consistent reference point for researchers on which to base their refinements and extensions.
Abstract: Within the silicon photovoltaics (PV) community, there are many approaches, tools, and input parameters for simulating solar cells, making it difficult for newcomers to establish a complete and representative starting point and imposing high requirements on experts to tediously state all assumptions and inputs for replication In this review, we address these problems by providing complete and representative input parameter sets to simulate six major types of crystalline silicon solar cells Where possible, the inputs are justified and up-to-date for the respective cell types, and they produce representative measurable cell characteristics Details of the modeling approaches that can replicate the simulations are presented as well The input parameters listed here provide a sensible and consistent reference point for researchers on which to base their refinements and extensions

TL;DR: In this paper, an aluminum heat sink was used in order to dissipate waste heat from a photovoltaic (PV) cell and an experimental research concerning the effects of passive cooling on performance parameters of silicon solar cells was presented.
Abstract: In this study, an experimental research concerning the effects of passive cooling on performance parameters of silicon solar cells was presented. An aluminum heat sink was used in order to dissipate waste heat from a photovoltaic (PV) cell. Dimensions of the heat sink were determined considering the results of a steady-state heat transfer analysis. The experiments were carried out for different ambient temperatures and various illumination intensities up to 1 sun under solar simulator. Experimental results indicate that energy, exergy and power conversion efficiency of the PV cell considerably increase with the proposed cooling technique. An increase of ∼20% in power output of the PV cell is achieved at 800 W/m-super-2 radiation condition. Maximum level of cooling is observed for the intensity level of 600 W/m-super-2. Performance of PV cells both with and without fins increases with decreasing ambient temperature. Copyright , Oxford University Press.
