Water as infrared filter for silicon solar cell efficiency enhancement for Kerman province of Iran as a talent region for solar energy production
Abstract
Purpose
The aim of this paper is to apply a watery infrared filter for silicon solar cell efficiency enhancement in Kerman province of Iran as a talent region for solar energy production.
Design/methodology/approach
With this research, the water is applied as a filter for silicon solar cells in different volumes and thicknesses.
Findings
The obtained results showed that using various amounts of water could be a suitable choice for increasing the efficiency of silicon solar cells.
Originality/value
Other wavelength regions just cause the increase in the entropy and decrease in the efficiency. With this research, the water is applied as a filter for silicon solar cell in different volumes and thickness. The obtained results showed that using different thicknesses of water could be suitable choice for increasing the efficiency of silicon solar cell.
