The radiative energy yield limit for an ideal single-junction solar cell based on 2015 global satellite data is 840 kWh/m 2. The record-level single-junction energy yield was calculated at 717 kWh/m 2 for the world record GaAs solar cell (STC efficiency 28.8%).
How much energy does a solar cell produce?
The record-level single-junction energy yield was calculated at 717 kWh/m 2 for the world record GaAs solar cell (STC efficiency 28.8%). Energy yield is primarily determined by the amount of sunlight available, with some noticeable influence from temperature and humidity.
What is photovoltaic system design and energy yield?
Research in photovoltaic (PV) system design and energy yield aims to understand how solar installations can be best configured and operated to maximize the amount of electricity the system will generate over the course of its service lifetime while minimizing costs.
