SILICON SOLAR CELL CAPACITANCE: INFLUENCE OF BOTH TEMPERATURE AND WAVELENGTH

ABSTRACT The purpose of this article is to study temperature effect on a silicon solar cell capacitance C0(T). Solar cell is biased with monochromatic illumination and remained in short-circuit condition. Excess minority carriers continuity equation in the base, yields photovoltage and capacitance expressions under static regime. Study showed that capacitance efficiency depends on abscissa Xcc
