These losses may happen during the solar cell's light absorption, charge creation, charge collecting, and electrical output processes, among others. Two types of solar cell losses can be distinguished: intrinsic and extrinsic losses (Hirst and Ekins-Daukes, 2011).
Losses in solar cells can result from a variety of physical and electrical processes, which have an impact on the system's overall functionality and power conversion efficiency. These losses may happen during the solar cell's light absorption, charge creation, charge collecting, and electrical output processes, among others.
Loss processes in solar cells consist of two parts: intrinsic losses (fundamental losses) and extrinsic losses. Intrinsic losses are unavoidable in single bandgap solar cells, even if in the idealized solar cells .
The external radiative efficiency, solid angle of absorption (e.g., the concentrator photovoltaic system), series resistance and operating temperature are demonstrated to greatly affect the loss processes. Furthermore, based on the calculated thermal equilibrium states, the temperature coefficients of solar cells versus the bandgap Eg are plotted.
Series loss corresponds to the energy loss that caused by the series resistance in solar cells. This series resistance can also include the contact resistance, and leads to the heat generation corresponding to the voltage loss (ΔVse = JRse) in the form of Joule heating : (14) P s e r i e s = J 2 R s e
Comparing the solar cell behavior in intensity-dependent and transient photocurrent measurements to the simulated behavior renders the hypotheses of a trap-induced space charge extremely unlikely and suggests a strong contribution of ionic motion to the observed current loss.
