Performance and Reliability Implications of Two Dimensional Shading in Monolithic Thin Film Photovoltaic Modules
Sourabh Dongaonkar, Chris Deline, Muhammad A. Alam
We analyze the problem of partial shading in monolithically integrated thin film photovoltaic (TFPV) modules, and explore how the shape and size of the shadows dictate their perfor…

Fundamentals of PV Efficiency: Limits for Light Absorption
M. Ryyan Khan, Xufeng Wang, Muhammad A. Alam
A simple thermodynamic argument related to a (weakly absorbing) finite dielectric slab illuminated by sunlight- originally suggested by Yablonovich- leads to the conclusion that th…
