Photovoltaic effect
It starts with sand which is processed into highly purified silicon.

Cell types
Cells can be manufactured from different types of materials.
The most significant is crystalline silicon.
Two main types of commercially available cells are:
Silicon wafers
Monocrystalline silicon cells
Polycrystalline silicon cells
Thin film:
Amorphous silicon (-Si)
Copper-indium-diselenide (CIS)
Cadmium-telluride (CdTe)
21
Cell types
Monocrystalline silicon cells
A crystal of silicon is grown from highly
pure molten silicon.
The single crystal cylindrical ingot is
cut into thin slices (200 300 m).
The edges are cut off to give a
hexagonal shape in order to make
optimum use of available module
surface.
Most efficient type of cell
(15-16 % efficiency).
Energy- and time-consuming
production
22
Cell types
Polycrystalline silicon cells
Silicon is heated to high temperature
and cooled under controlled
conditions in a mould (casting
process).
As the molten silicon sets, an irregular
poly- or multi-crystal is formed.
This is visible in the shimmering fishscale like appearance of the wafers.
The square silicon block is then cut
into thin slices (~300 m).
The blue colour is due to the
application of an anti-reflection layer.
Less efficient than mono-crystalline
cells (efficiency 14-16%).
23
Cell types
Thin film
Silicon, CIS or CdTe is deposited as gas on a
glass, aluminium or plastic surface.
Layer (thin film) of semiconductor material is
only 0.5-2.0 m thick.
Less semiconductor raw material is used.
Less sensitive to the effects of shade and high
temperatures.
Better suitable for locations with large share of
diffuse irradiation (e.g. in areas with high air
pollution).
Production cost today similar to silicon wafers.
Lower efficiency than silicon wafers
(e.g. CIS efficiency 6 - 8%).

Series connection of batteries
The terminal is connected with the
terminal of the next battery.
In serial connection, a battery bank has the same capacity as a single battery.
Overall voltage is rating equal to the sum of the individual batteries voltages.

Batteries

Series-Parallel connection of batteries
Series and parallel connection are use in combination.
Capacity (Ah) and voltage are increasing.
This is done to make a battery bank with large capacity
and larger voltage out of several smaller, lower voltage batteries.

CHARGE CONTROLLERS
PRENAC
53
charge controllers
Matching voltage of the PV array and the systems to that of the battery.
Charge voltage must be higher than
battery voltage:
Standard example:
Battery nominal voltage: 12V
Charge voltage:
up to 14.5 V
PV nominal voltage:
15-18 V
(e.g. NOCT = 45C)
charge controllers
Series controller
When the charge cut-off voltage is reached, a series controller interrupts the
module power using S1 and switches it back on after a defined voltage drop.
This creates an oscillating state of constant switching operations around the charge
cut-off voltage, as well as permanent forward losses.
S2 is used to interrupt battery power when the battery voltage drops below a
defined discharge cut-off limit.
55
charge controllers
MPP charge controllers
An MPP tracker essentially consists of a regulated DC/DC converter.
MPP power is determined every few minutes.
The DC/DC converter is the set so that it takes the optimum power from the PV
array and adjusts it to the charge voltage of the battery.
In this way, optimum use is made of the available solar energy.
MPP charge controllers are useful in combination with larger PV arrays or when
using high voltage modules/arrays

ON- GRID Sine-wave inverters
A Grid-Tie Inverter takes the electricity generated by
the renewable energy system and sends it to the
power distribution panel in your home or office. From
there the power may be used by loads within your
home or if not needed it will redirected to the utility
grid.
