Abstract
Perovskite is certainly the material of the future of photovoltaics for terrestrial applications. With high efficiencies and advances in stability, perovskite solar cells, modules and mini-modules have already made their appearance in the laboratory and are being tested under real-world conditions to evaluate their real performance. In our study, we predict the performance of perovskite-based photovoltaic panel technology under the conditions of the Sub-Saharan African region by simulation. We started from the current-voltage characteristic of a real perovskite-based module to extract the cell parameters through MATLAB analysis software. These parameters were used to model a cell and then a module in the LTSpice XVII software for simulation. The impact of temperature is studied to evaluate the performance ratio (PR) of a clear day. This study allowed us to evaluate the PR of the perovskite solar module. Displaying PR reaching 90%, perovskite is a future candidate with high potential in the list of the most suitable technologies for our sub-region.
Highlights
This study is situated in the context of forecasting photovoltaic production in real subSaharan conditions
We study the impact of temperature on the performance and the performance ratio of the perovskite solar cell in the climatic conditions of Sub-Saharan Africa
The performance ratio allows the comparison of performances between different technologies and within the same technology with respect to the conditions in which they are installed
Summary
This study is situated in the context of forecasting photovoltaic production in real subSaharan conditions. Considered as the "black gold" [1] for photovoltaic cells, the perovskite-based cell reached in 2020 an efficiency of 25.5% [2] in laboratory. Perovskite degrades at temperatures above 40°C and is soluble in water [1] Several studies on these two aspects have been done and are being actively pursued: the introduction of 2methylbenzimidazole (MBIm) by C. The same company having reached in May 2019 an efficiency of 16.1% with a module of 55 cells [7]. All these very encouraging results show the progress made in terms of stability and efficiency.
