Thanks Redbelly, most useful response I've had on this site.
Excuse me if I am being dumb, but say I have a 60W PV module with Vmax point of 9v and I have it connected to charge a 12v battery?
Is this possible? If it is than surely the 12v voltage from the battery will be going into the...
Hi, could someone care to explain two things:
1) Whats happens when the resistance load of a circuit powered by a PV cell generates a higher voltage then that produced by the PV cell (does band gap get affected).
2) Why does current drop near the Open Circuit Voltage? Surely the generation...

Hi,
I have been looking at various sources including searching the internet, bu the main textbooks i have are:
1) Markvart, T. 'Solar Electricity' 2000. Southampton
2) Goswami, Kreith, Kreider. ' Principles of Solar Energy'. 2001...
Hi,
I know that voltage decreases with temperature but why?
I am looking into silicon solar cells but cannot find any sources which explain why open circuit voltage decreases with rise in temperature.
can some explain please!
thanks
