Solar Spectrum Power Spectrum Planck’s Law Total energy Radiated Stefan-Boltzmann Law Suns Spectrum for T= 5800
Photon Activation Requirement for creating an electron hole Pair is hν> Eg
Cut-off Wavelengths The issue is that you can not use the long wavelength solar energy and the short wavelengths lose the energy above the band-gap to heat.
Example For A=100
Series Resistance Contact resistance, resistance in diode outside of the junction region
Modules to Arrays 1 Voltages for cells add in series 2 Currents for each cell add in parallel
