Monokristal, polikristal ve ince film fotovoltaik hücrelerin karşılaştırmalı analizi: Verim, sıcaklık ve ışınım etkileri

Öz

Bu çalışmada, monokristal, polikristal ve ince film fotovoltaik (FV) hücrelerin verim, sıcaklık ve güneş ışınımı etkileri açısından karşılaştırmalı olarak incelenmesi amaçlanmıştır. Bu kapsamda, seçilen ticari modüllere ait teknik parametreler kullanılarak MATLAB ortamında sıcaklık ve güneş ışınımının hücre verimi üzerindeki etkilerine yönelik sayısal hesaplamalar gerçekleştirilmiştir. Elde edilen bulgular, monokristal hücrelerin sınırlı alanlarda yüksek verim sunduğunu, polikristal hücrelerin maliyet-performans açısından büyük ölçekli uygulamalar için uygun olduğunu ve ince film hücrelerin ise yüksek sıcaklık ve düşük ışınım koşullarında daha kararlı bir performans sergilediğini göstermektedir. Sonuç olarak, FV hücre seçiminde yalnızca nominal verim değerlerinin değil, iklim koşulları, çevresel etkiler ve uygulama gereksinimlerinin de birlikte değerlendirilmesi gerektiği ortaya konulmuştur.

Comparative analysis of monocrystalline, polycrystalline, and thin-film photovoltaic cells: Efficiency, effects of temperature and irradiance

Öz

This study aims to comparatively analyze monocrystalline, polycrystalline, and thin-film photovoltaic (PV) cells in terms of efficiency, effects of temperature and irradiance. Within the scope of the study, numerical calculations were performed in the MATLAB environment using the technical parameters of selected commercial modules to evaluate the effects of temperature and solar irradiance on PV cell efficiency. The findings indicate that monocrystalline cells provide higher efficiency in applications with limited installation space, polycrystalline cells offer a cost-effective solution for large-scale installations, and thin-film cells exhibit more stable performance under high-temperature and low-irradiance conditions. Consequently, the results demonstrate that PV cell selection should be based not only on nominal efficiency values but also on climatic conditions, environmental factors, and application requirements.
