Viewed are designs of double faced solar elements made of i and GaAs. It is shown that by optimizing parameters of solar elements one can obtain equal sensitivity on both sides of an element.

Conditions of the occurrence of low-voltage arc between the sections of a solar battery (SB) during its exposure to electrons in the outer space are investigated experimentally. SB sections were placed in a vacuum chamber ensuring the pressure of (3-6)×10 -5mmHg; Sb voltage was simulated with a storage battery or condenser. Electron irradiation was...

Equations and boundary conditions for calculating a temperature distribution in the plane of a solar battery (SB), heated nonuniformly (in particular, under partial shading), are described. Examples of the heating dynamics and temperature distribution over a partially shaded photoconverter (PC), being a part of the SB, are given. It is shown that p...
Article
Arc discharges on a solar battery (SB) were first observed in experiments on modeling thermomechanical actions in a vacuum chamber. When an SB is operated in outer space, its dielectric covers (glass) are charged to a high potential under the action of high-energy particles (electrons, protons, etc.), as a result of which electric discharges occur...

Protective glass on the surface of solar cells may accumulate an electric charge when irradiated by electron fluxes.

It is found that a potential generated on the glas...

The change in the transmission of K-208 glass under the action of an electron stream with energy of the order of several tens of kiloelectron volts depends on the thickness of the specimens, the radius of the irradiated surface, and the material of the substrate on which the glass specimens are laid for exposure. The dependence of the transmission...

In the present paper, the current-voltage equations are derived for a photovoltaic cell with a n(+)-p-p(+) heterojunction, both for illumination of the isotopic junction and for simultaneous illumination of the isotopic and p-n junctions. The influence of the base and p(+) layer parameters on the performance of the cell is studied, and some experim...

The results of a theoretical and experimental analysis of the dependence of the fundamental operation parameters of photoconverters made of high-resistance silicon (the photo-emf, the short-circuit current, and the spectral distribution of the photosensitivity) on the thickness of the doped layer and the i-layer, the charge-carrier diffusion length...

Experimental measurements of the angular dependence of short-circuit current and load current of Si and GaAs photocells are discussed. It is shown that anomalous angular sensitivity behavior in the region of large optical incidence angles for Si cells with end surface exposed to illumination can be explained by the contribution of the end surfaces...

The paper studies the spectral distribution of the collection coefficient of a silicon solar cell illuminated at different times from the front and back sides.
