4 What is solar photovoltaic energy? Advantages Photovoltaic Solar Energy obtained by direct conversion of solar radiation into electricity Technical Advantages of a technical nature: Direct conversion solar-electricity Safe, inexhaustible and non-polluting source Modularity of facilities Possibility of architectural integration Opportunities for technological development and innovation Economic and social benefits: Proximity citizen-energy distributed Return on Investment Job creation associated with the manufacture of equipment and the maintenance of the facilities Abundant solar resource
5 Solar photovoltaic cell Photovoltaic solar cells are the basic constituents of photovoltaic modules: Devices that convert light directly into electricity Composed of semiconductor materials: silicon or compounds of II-VI, III-V (multi-junctions), as well as organic and hybrid substances Produce direct current
6 Solar photovoltaic cell Absorption capacity depending on the technology and the wavelength of the radiation

14 Photovoltaic Technologies Based on silicon: monocrystalline silicon, multicrystalline silicon, hybrid cells Thin film: amorphous or amorphous / microcrystalline silicon, compounds of group II-VI, organic materials Photovoltaic Concentration (CPV) Emerging technologies: perovskites
15 Maximum solar photovoltaic cell efficiencies evolution cy_chart.jpg
16 Monocrystalline Silicon Photovoltaic Modules Si wafer from monocrystalline Si ingot grown by Czocralski and sliced Different technologies, from simple screen printed very mature although until the highest efficiency Rigid module Spectacular cost reduction in the last years Technological variants for high efficiency development (PERT, PERC, bifacials, High laboratory cell efficiency: 25.2% (SunPower) for backcontact technology
17 Heterojunction solar cells Variant of monocrystalline technology based on Si wafer combined with thin film processes Heterojunction with Intrinsic Thin Layer, Sanyo HIT) Maximum cell efficiency in laboratory up to September 2016: 25.6% (Panasonic)
18 Heterojunction solar cells A combination of heterojunction technology using high-quality amorphous silicon, low resistance electrode technology, and a back-contact structure developed by Kaneka Corporation. Achievement of the world s highest conversion efficiency, 26.33%, in a crystalline silicon solar cell having a practical size (180 cm 2 ). This achievement breaks the world record of 25.6% by ~0.7%, exceeding 26% for the first time in the world.
19 Multicrystalline Silicon Photovoltaic Modules c-si wafer from ingot usually obtained by casting Crystals are visible in the range of cm Cheaper than the monocrystalline Si because of the technique of obtaining the ingot uses much less energy, but sharing the same starting material Production characteristics (screen printed) similar to monocrystalline Si, but lower efficiency Cost reduction also based on a clear tendency to reduce the thickness of the wafers Maximum cell efficiency in laboratory: 21.25% (Trina Solar)
20 Bifacial solar cells The concept is to use light absorption also from the albedo. it was established that bifacial solar cells can increase the power density of PV modules compared to monofacial cells while reducing area-related costs for PV R. Guerrero-Lemus et al, Renewable and Sustainable Energy Reviews, Volume 60, July 2016, Pages
21 Multijunction solar cells Photons with energies below the band gap are not absorbed, whereas photons with energies above the band gap are not fully converted to electrical energy because of thermalization of charge A single junction solar cell can not produce above its Shocley-Queisser limit
22 Multijunction solar cells Reduce thermalization and nonabsorption power losses
23 Thin film technologies Very thin layers of semiconductor material, on the order of several microns The most mature technologies are based on silicon (amorphous and microcrystalline), on CdTe and CI (G) S Technologies based on organic materials are not in the same degree of maturity as the previous ones These technologies require a substrate as support. Depending on the type of substrate, the module may have different characteristics such as flexibility and transparency Cell and module are manufactured simultaneously, so lower use of material and in time Low consumption of raw materials The company First Solar (CdTe) Maximum cell efficiency in laboratory: 22.1% (First Solar)
24 Concentrated Photovoltaic It uses optical elements (lenses or mirrors) to focus the sunlight on the photovoltaic cell. High concentration: reaches up to 1000x and low concentration below 10x It uses only direct solar radiation so it needs precise solar trackers and is only profitable in specific geographical areas with high direct radiation It is in an initial state of commercialization
25 Concentrated Photovoltaic It is used with high performance cells (faces) so that costs are reduced by decreasing the amount of semiconductor material Variety of solutions, there is no single concept (high and low concentration, different cells and optical elements) Maximum cell efficiency in laboratory: 46.0% (Fraunhofer ISE / Soitec)
26 New materials: Perovskites Hybrid compound with perovskite structure formed by organic-inorganic material Typical structure CH3NH3PbX3, where X is a halogen atom such as iodine, bromine or chlorine Spectacular increase in efficiency in the last 3 years Simple production process; does not need high temperatures Low cost of production Problems of degradation Transparent, light, flexible and efficient Emerging technology Maximum cell efficiency (not stabilized) in laboratory: 21.0% (EPFL)

34 PV plant components Among all the considerations for the cash flow analysis of a PV plant it is of great importance to have confident values of performance, cost and durability of PV components Groups of experts worldwide are working together in order to elaborate PV standards that can provide the certitudes for longterm PV components performance (IEC) standards allow testing the PV components in order to be able to certify their capacities of operation That scheme is also extended to the PV plant itself (IECRE)
35 Certification Scheme TO CERTIFY TO DECLARE CONFORMITY TO STANDARDS Why certification tests? They are not just a requirement of power companies. From the point of view of the end user they serve to: Verify that the products are reliable. Ensure reasonable and maintained operation for years. Avoid risks during installation and operation. From the point of view of designers and manufacturers, they serve to: Test your designs against parameters common to other producers. Define the scope of the guarantees.

46 Durability - Severity IEC Increased IEC standards for module qualification do not guarantee long-term operation (reliability) or predict life-time (durability). The current trend is to increase the severities specified in IEC as follows: Increase the number of cycles and duration of the test, typically by a factor of approximately 2 X Increasing the upper temperature limits (eg 90 C instead of 85 C in thermal cycles) To submit to the same modules to several climatic tests that in the original norm would go in different sequences. Apply current in tests to represent the actual operating conditions (wet heat with current) Add dynamic and static loads to simulate the action of wind and snow Increase the number and type of intermediate evaluations and diagnoses (EL, isolates, dark curves.....etc.)
47 Durability - Severity IEC Increased Very useful for establishing comparisons between different module designs Reliably reproduces some degradation mechanisms (PID) The extended thermal cycles are effective to reproduce thermomechanical wear But They do not contemplate the possibility of simultaneously applying degradation actions that can cause specific failure modes if they occur under real operating conditions. Only degradations are simulated in a limited time They do not provide a model to simulate power loss and do not establish correlation factor between accelerated test and actual operating conditions. These tests beyond the qualification are not particularized according to the climates The effects of radiation (especially UV) may be underestimated. Most of the tests are performed in dark conditions or by applying polarization currents that do not have to reproduce the operating conditions of the PV modules under real solar conditions
48 Durability - Severity IEC Increased: New project of standard IEC IEC Comparative testing of PV modules to differentiate performance in multiple climates and applications Standardization initiative that aims to provide the end user with the selection of the PV modules of their installation depending on the climate where they will operate and the type of installation (above ground or roof) Climate zones are described in IEC Ed.1 Classification of environmental conditions - Part 2-1: Environmental conditions that appear in nature - Temperature and humidity Warm climate: (warm temperate and dry) Extremely warm and dry: temperature mean values range from + 8 C to +43 C and the maximum absolute humidity is 24 g / m 3. Warm and humid: temperature mean values range from + 17 C to +33 C the maximum absolute humidity of 30 g / m 3.
49 Durability - Severity IEC Increased: Standard IEC IEC Comparative testing of PV modules to differentiate performance in multiple climates and applications The purpose of the IEC standard is to define a classification system based on specific tests to establish an indicator of the long-term reliability of the flat PV modules depending on the different types of climate and the conditions of use. Part 1 General test requirements Part 2 Mechanical and thermal cycling tests (welding and breaking of cells) Part 3 Defines the UV aging test. The purpose of the standard is to identify the effects that can be caused by exposure to sunlight for a prolonged period. Part 4 Specific conditions to demonstrate greater durability in hot climates or rooftop installations involving high operating temperatures Part 5 Specific conditions to demonstrate greater durability in hot and humid climates
