Description
Photovoltaic systems as renewable power sources are more present than ever. Economic and efficient product development is essential for manufacturers and users. The simulation software "Energy Yield Calculator" makes an early contribution to the efficient development of new plants and component structures. Existing software products enable optimization with regard to efficiency under standard test conditions in the laboratory. A special challenge in solar cell development is the consideration of different climatic conditions, as the optimal component structure can differ significantly under test and real conditions. Software that quickly delivers holistic results under real climatic conditions is not yet available. A team of researchers from KIT has therefore developed a software, which allows numerically supported energy yield calculations of new solar cell and solar module structures. Based on various material data and information about the component structure, the software calculates the performance of a specific architecture variant. Software users receive optical and electrical values of how well light is absorbed and converted into electricity. In addition, realistic irradiation conditions for a large number of locations in different climate zones are integrated into the software to optimize the structure depending on the location. The combination of analysis of optics, electrics and energy yield, the broad applicability to established crystalline silicon solar cells, thin-film solar cells and also new types of stacked solar cells as well as the consideration of real climatic conditions of diverse locations make the software solution unique.
You can get an overview of this technology at KIT stand. More details can be exchanged individually with the responsible scientific employees of KIT after the industry fair.
