An Illumination- and Temperature-Dependent Analytical Model for Copper Indium Gallium Diselenide (CIGS) Solar Cells
Xingshu Sun, Timothy Silverman, Rebekah Garris +2
In this paper, we present a physics-based analytical model for CIGS solar cells that describes the illumination- and temperature-dependent current-voltage (I-V) characteristics and…

An Optics-Based Approach to Thermal Management of Photovoltaics: Selective-Spectral and Radiative Cooling
Xingshu Sun, Timothy J Silverman, Zhiguang Zhou +3
For commercial one-sun solar modules, up to 80% of the incoming sunlight may be dissipated as heat, potentially raising the temperature 20 C - 30 C higher than the ambient. In the…
