Exergy Modeling of Monocrystalline Silicon Solar Cells with Spectral Irradiation Variations

Abstract

Exergy modeling was made to analyze the work performance of monocrystalline silicon solar cells. Analysis is done by making modeling and simulation of the equation and parameter data that affect the amount of photon energy and the exergy rate at PV. The incident radiation source used varies on the (0.05, 0.1, 0.3 and 0.5 Suns) in the AM1.5G spectral response standard. Calculation analysis with the model made shows that the PV module photonic energy is greater than the photonic exergy, this is related to the irreversibility of the PV module conversion system.
