Wavelength and Constant Magnetic field Dependence of the Steady-state Photoconductivity of a Bifacial Silicon Solar Cell

Abstract

Diao A and Sissoko G

In this work, a theoretical study on the photoconductivity of a bifacial silicon solar cell under monochromatic illumination and constant magnetic field is presented. Analytical expression of the photoconductivity is established according to base depth, illumination wavelength, junction recombination velocity and magnetic field value. The photoconductivity profile versus wavelength shows two energy absorption peaks corresponding to specific wavelengths. Based on a linear model of the photoconductivity versus junction recombination velocity, in a given interval, we determine an equivalent capacitance which depends on both wavelength and magnetic field.
