The temperature in solar cells is one of the main factors affecting their efficiency. Increasing the temperature in solar cells reduces efficiency. According to previously published and recently published studies by our team, with increasing temperature in 5-layer FTO/i-SnO2/CdS/CdTe/Cu2O solar cells, the efficiency has decreased by 8.86% per 100 K. In this research, phase change materials have been used to control the temperature in 5-layer solar cells. Our overall goal in this study is to control the temperature in FTO/i-SnO2/CdS/CdTe/Cu2O solar cells to increase their efficiency. The results obtained using simulations and numerical analysis and comparative analysis show that if one layer is used as a cooling arrangement in 5-layer FTO/i-SnO2/CdS/CdTe/Cu2O solar cells, it reduces the surface temperature of solar cells and increases efficiency.

FTO/I-SnO2/CdS/CdTe/Cu2O 太阳能电池冷却系统的设计与仿真

太阳能电池的温度是影响其效率的主要因素之一。提高太阳能电池的温度会降低效率。根据我们团队之前发表和最近发表的研究，随着 5 层 FTO/i-SnO2/CdS/CdTe/Cu2O 太阳能电池温度的升高，效率每 100 K 下降 8.86%。在这项研究中，相变材料已被用于控制 5 层太阳能电池的温度。我们在本研究中的总体目标是控制 FTO/i-SnO2/CdS/CdTe/Cu2O 太阳能电池的温度以提高其效率。仿真、数值分析和对比分析得到的结果表明，如果在5层FTO/i-SnO2/CdS/CdTe/Cu2O太阳能电池中使用一层作为冷却装置，它可以降低太阳能电池的表面温度并增加效率。
