Inhalt:

The lecture will introduce to the fundamentals of photovoltaic energy conversion. The conversion of light into electricity is one of the most efficient power technologies of today and is expected to transform our energy system towards a renewable scenario. The limits of photovoltaic energy conversion, the materials and architectures of major PV technologies and advanced characterization methods for modules as well as solar fields will be introduced theoretically and experimentally during the lecture and exercices.

Lernziele und Kompetenzen:

• The students will learn the concept of black body radiation and the radiation laws and the limits of light – energy conversion. The fundamental semiconductor junctions (p-n, M-i-M, Shottky and Hetero Junction are repeated. The one diode and two diodes replacement circuits are explained . Electrical, optical, recombination and extraction loss mechanisms are discussed separately and demonstrated at the hand of numerical drift-diffusion equation solvers. The most important solar cell concepts (Si, CIGS, CdTe, GaAs, Perovksites, Organics) are introduced, and the strengths and weaknesses of each technology are analysed.

• Characterization of Photovoltaic Modules will trained by flashed measurements in the lab. Defect imaging methods like DLIT, EL or PL imaging will be trained at the hand of module installations in Erlangen.
