- Abstract
- In previous theoretical studies, the width of the active area of solar cells has often been optimized by calculating power loss [1][2] owing to several factors, including interconnection area, contact layer absorption, and sheet resistances of contact-layers. For small power losses, the fraction of power lost caused by the contact-layer sheet resistance was estimated from the Joule heating losses, assuming uniform current density (i.e., a constant resistance model). Recently, the performance of solar cells has been simulated using numerical methods. Numerical methods are advantageous to provide the optimum design of solar cell module and its operating mechanism. However, numerical methods are generally inadequate for a fast calculation and an intuitive prediction of module performance.
