Abstract :
We analyzed the cell-to-module power conversion loss (CTM power loss) of industrial monocrystalline- (mono-Si) and multi-crystalline-silicon (multi-Si) solar cells. To reduce the CTM power loss of industrial solar cells by improving the optical losses, we investigated the effect of spacing between cells in a PV module by quantum efficiency measurement.
