For the interconnection of multi junction and tandem solar cells a two- (2T), three- (3T), and four-terminal (4T) cell architecture is conceivable. The 3T architecture featuring a combination of parallel and series interconnection combines the advantageous of 2T and 4T cells without their drawbacks. We build a photovoltaic (PV) module with silicon solar cells in a 3T tandem solar cell interconnection configuration (3TTSC PV module) to emulate a solar module with 20 3TTSC. To the best of our knowledge, no 3TTSC PV module with more than five solar cells has been shown in previous studies. We measure the effect of partially shading a 3TTSC in this module and develop an electrical simulation to model our experimental results. In the simulations we determine the dissipated power in the top and bottom cells due to the current mismatch caused by partial shading. Our results reveal that the shaded top and bottom cell as well as the adjacent top cell dissipate power when a single 3TTSC is shaded. The two top cells share the dissipated power. Our simulated power dissipation correlates with temperature measurements of the 3TTSC PV module in a steady-state sun simulator. Therefore, in a 3TTSC PV module the temperature of a shaded cell is lower than in a module with 2T configuration. This is an advantage of PV modules with 3T tandem solar cells in terms of reliability and long-term stability.}, keywords = {3-terminal solar cell, PV module reliability, Solar module interconnection}, pubstate = {published}, tppubtype = {article} } We examine the electrical and thermal characteristics of a photovoltaic module with three-terminal cell interconnection when partially shading a solar cell by experimentally verified modeling.

Our results show that a reliable assessment of the solar cells power losses requires a modified PID test method which includes illumination in addition to the high voltage stress test. Furthermore, a recovery step needs to be added to the test scheme to separate reversible PID-p contributions from irreversible PID-c damages. We show that both, the degree of degradation as well as the contributions of PID-p and PIC-c depend sensitively on the solar cell under consideration.

For the solar module with 72 solar cells, we measure a maximum temperature of 164 ∘ C, which results in a degradation of the encapsulation material and increases the risk of solar module failure. The high temperature results from the hot cell effect due to the power dissipation in the reverse-biased solar cell caused by partial shading.

Although the half-cell solar module has a higher power output than the full-cell solar module, we measure a cooler peak temperature of 150 ∘ C. However, under certain shading conditions, the half-cell solar module can exhibit similar temperatures as the full-cell solar module. Based on our experimental results, we develop an electrical and a thermal model to predict the temperature of novel high-power solar modules with solar cells from larger silicon wafer formats in case of partial cell shading. Our predictions consider the trends of further increasing solar cell and module efficiencies, larger silicon wafer formats, and larger solar modules.

Accurate measurement procedures for bifacial products result in more accurate energy yield estimates, consequently improving the bankability of bifacial PV technology. This work aims to evaluate the procedures for the measurement of electrical power and bifacial parameters of bifacial solar devices, concerning to their applicability in calibration laboratories and production line environments. An intercomparison for bifacial PV cells and modules is carried out between nine different test laboratories across Europe, as part of the PV-Enerate project. The measurement procedures as described in IEC TS 60904-1-2:2019 are followed among the different test laboratories, to evaluate the applicability of these procedures. Three different types of bifacial PV cells and three different types of bifacial PV modules are measured. The intercomparison involves measurements with systems using both single and double-sided illumination conditions.

Accurate measurement procedures for bifacial products result in more accurate energy yield estimates, consequently improving the bankability of bifacial PV technology. This work aims to evaluate the procedures for the measurement of electrical power and bifacial parameters of bifacial solar devices, concerning to their applicability in calibration laboratories and production line environments. An intercomparison for bifacial PV cells and modules is carried out between nine different test laboratories across Europe, as part of the PV-Enerate project. The measurement procedures as described in IEC TS 60904-1-2:2019 are followed among the different test laboratories, to evaluate the applicability of these procedures. Three different types of bifacial PV cells and three different types of bifacial PV modules are measured. The intercomparison involves measurements with systems using both single and double-sided illumination conditions. The uncertainty budgets and systematic differences that these procedures result in between different laboratories are determined and discussed. Specific common mistakes are reported and improvements to the IEC TS 60904-1-2:2019 are proposed as a result of this intercomparison activity.
