| Abstract Scope |
A detailed analysis of the temperature dependence of the energy gap in semiconductors is presented. Its influence on solar cell performance is examined for various semiconductor candidates. In particular, semiconductors belonging to group IV, III-V, II-VI, as well as CIGS & pervoskites are considered. The potential implications of this study on some tandem solar cells are examined. Applications of this study in integration schemes of renewable energy sources are discussed. |
