- Description: The generation of electrical energy using Photovoltaic (PV) technology has increased globally with the decrease in the cost of PV systems and the rise in electrical power demand. In South Africa, the support by the government in implementing the Renewable Energy Independent Power Producer Procurement Programme (REIPPPP) has seen a growth in PV system deployment and investment in roof and ground mounted, stand alone and grid connected PV plants. This rapid growth shows that the PV industry is becoming highly competitive as there is a shift to low carbon emissions and it is anticipated to be the most affordable source of electricity. Hence, there is need to develop maintenance and fault diagnosis expertise and capabilities in the PV industry, which can in turn improve the dependability, productiveness and lifespan of PV systems. Solar PV modules directly receive and convert solar irradiance into electricity and may not generate the expected optimum energy due to abnormalities which arise when they are exposed to harsh unfavorable environmental conditions in the field. Thermal Infrared (TIR) imaging is widely used as a fault diagnosis tool in operating PV modules and mostly in large PV power plants. Therefore, there is need to research the interpretation of the observed thermal signatures and the impact that the anomalies have on electrical output of the system so as to improve the PV maintenance systems. This research focuses on identifying performance limiting defects using an Infra-Red (I-R) camera, mounted on an Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV), to understand the effect of thermal signatures on current-voltage (I-V) characteristics of PV module strings. Aerial TIR imaging using a UAV can rapidly identify abnormalities in operational PV modules strings as hotspots. Any deviation of the string I-V curve, from the expected, indicates a problem with one or more PV modules in the string. However, locating the faulty module involves measuring I-V parameters of the individual modules in a string, which is not feasible in large PV power plants. Therefore, there is a need to estimate the power loss associated with the thermal signatures in PV module strings. Visual inspection may help in identifying the exact cause of some hotspots, while other hotspots need special characterization techniques, such as Electroluminescence (EL) and UV Fluorescence (UV-F), which can indicate if a solar cell is cracked or has weak busbars or contact finger connections.

- Description: Photovoltaic (PV) cells are devices capable of producing electricity - in particular, from the abundant resource of sunlight. Solar energy (from PV cells) provides a sustainable alternative to fossil fuel energy sources such as coal and oil. PV cells are typically strung in series in PV modules to generate the current and voltage required for commercial use. However, PV cell performance can be limited by defects and degradation. Under operational conditions due to mismatch and shading, individual cells within a PV module can be forced to operate in their reverse bias regime. Depending on the severity of the reverse bias and the defects present in the cell, the longevity of the cell and/or the module can be affected. Reverse bias (assuming bypass diodes are absent) can result in localised heating that can affect the encapsulant polymer’s longevity as well as degrade the cell’s performance over time. However, under more severe reverse bias, the cell could fail, drastically affecting the performance of the module. PV cells can be characterised using various opto-electronic non-destructive techniques, this provides a set of powerful tools which allow the application of multiple such techniques to the same sample. Furthermore, this allows for an in-depth study of the device. Dark Current-Voltage (I-V) measurements, Electroluminescence (EL), Infrared (IR) thermography, Light Beam Induced Current (LBIC) measurements, and the associated techniques are all examples of such tools and are used within this study. An experimental setup was developed to perform dark I-V measurements, EL imaging, IR thermography and LBIC measurements. Part of the development of the experimental setup was the design of an enclosure in which to perform all the measurements. The enclosure minimised internal reflection, and isolated the experiment from electromagnetic radiation. Due to the complex mathematical model applied to the I-V curve, an Evolutionary Algorithm was used to determine optimal parameter values for the equation. More specifically, a Genetic Algorithm was used in the Parameter Optimisation (or Extraction) of the dark I-V parameters based upon the two-diode model for PV cells. The resulting parameters give an indication of the material and device quality. However, to determine the spatial distribution of the defects that effect the I-V response of the device, various imaging techniques were utilised. LBIC is a technique that uses a focussed light beam to raster scan across the surface of a PV cell. The local photo-induced current/voltage can then be measured and compiled into a response map. LBIC was used to determine the local current response across the device. The intensity distribution of EL signal is related to the local junction voltage and the local quantum efficiency. EL intensity imaging with a Si CCD camera was used to determine the spatial distribution of features visible both in the forward bias and in the reverse bias. The experimental setup utilised had a micron scale resolution. A voltage dependent approach was utilised to further characterise features observed. In forward bias, the local junction varies across the device due to parasitic resistances such as series and shunt resistance. At higher forward bias conditions (in the vicinity of and higher than maximum power voltage), series resistance becomes a limiting factor. Therefore, utilising a voltage dependent approach allows for the determination of a series resistance map from voltage dependent EL images. In reverse bias, localised radiative processes can be imaged. These radiative processes are related to defects in the device, such as Al stains, FeSi2 needles and avalanche breakdown. The processes are related to highly localised current flow; this causes localised heating which degrades the device. The voltage dependent Reverse Bias EL (ReBEL) imaging was also used to determine the local breakdown voltage of radiative reverse features. Dark IR thermography is a technique used in the identification of high current sites that leads to localised Joule heating, particularly in reverse bias. In this study, thermography was used to identify breakdown sites and shunts. The results of this study allow for an in-depth analysis of defects found in multi-crystalline Si PV cells using the opto-electronic techniques mentioned above. The multi-pronged approach allowed from a comparison of the various opto-electronic techniques, as well as a more in-depth characterisation of the defects than if only one technique was used.

- Description: Solar cells allow the energy from the sun to be converted into electrical energy; this makes solar energy much more environmentally friendly than fossil fuel energy sources. These solar cells are connected together in a photovoltaic (PV) module to provide the higher current, voltage and power outputs necessary for electrical applications. However, the performance of the PV module is limited by the performance of the individual cells. Cell mismatch occurs when some cells are damaged or shaded and produce lower current output than the other cells in the series connected string. The cell mismatch lowers the module performance and can result in further damage as the weak cells are reverse biased and dissipate heat. Bypass diodes can be connected into the module to increase the module current output and prevent further damage. Since cell mismatch results in a significant decrease in the performance of deployed modules it is important to fully understand and characterise its effect on PV modules. PV modules can be characterised using various techniques, each providing important information about the performance of the module. Most commonly the current-voltage (I-V) characteristic curve of a module is measured in outdoor, fully illuminated conditions. This allows performance parameters such as short circuit current (Isc), open circuit voltage (Voc) and maximum power (Pmax) to be determined. In addition to this the shape of the curve allows device parameters like series and shunt resistances to be determined using parameter extraction algorithms like Particle Swarm Optimisation (PSO). The extracted parameters can be entered into the diode equation to model the I-V curve of the module. The I-V characteristic of the module can also be used to identify poor current producing cells in the module by using the worst-case cell determination method. In this technique a cell is shaded and the greater the drop in current in the whole module the better the current production of the shaded cell. The photoresponse of cells in a module can be determined by the Large-area Light Beam Induced Current (LA-LBIC) technique which involves scanning a module with a laser beam and recording the current generated. Electroluminescence (EL) is emitted by a forward biased PV module and is used to identify defects in cell material. Defects such as cracks and broken fingers can be detected as well as material features such as grain boundaries. These techniques are used to in conjunction to characterise the modules used in this study. The modules investigated in this study each exhibit cell mismatch resulting from different causes. Each module is characterised using a combination of characterisation techniques which allows the effect of cell mismatch be investigated. EL imaging enabled cracks and defects, invisible to the naked eye, to be detected allowing the reduced performance observed in I-V curves to be explained. It was seen that the cracked cells have a significant effect on the current produced by a string, while the effect of delaminated areas is less severe. Hot spots are observed on weak cells indicating they are in reverse bias conditions and will degrade further with time. PSO parameter extraction from I-V curves revealed that the effect of module degradation of device parameters like series and shunt resistances. A module with cracked cells and degradation of the antireflective coating has low shunt resistance indicating current losses due to shunting. Similar shunting is observed in a module with delamination and moisture ingress. The extracted parameters are used to simulate the I-V curves of modules with reasonable fit. The fit could be improved around the “knee” of the I-V curve by improving the methods of parameter extraction. This study has shown the effects of cell mismatch on the performance and I-V curves of the PV modules. The different causes of cell mismatch are discussed and modules with different cell configuration and damage are characterised. The characterisation techniques used on each module provide information about the photoresponse, current generation, material properties and cell defects. A comprehensive understanding of these techniques allows the cell mismatch in the modules to be fully characterized.

- Description: High concentration photovoltaics (HCPV) promise a more efficient, higher power output than traditional photovoltaic modules. This is achieved by concentrating sunlight onto a small 1 cm2 triple junction (CTJ) InGaP/InGaAs/Ge cell by using precision optics. In order to achieve high performance, careful and informed design decisions must be made in the development of a HCPV module . This project investigated the design of a HCPV module and is divided into sections that concentrate on the optical design, thermal dissipation and electrical characterization of a concentration triple junction cell. The first HCPV module (Module I) design was based on the Sandia III Baseline Fresnel module which comprised of a Fresnel lens and truncated reflective secondary as the optical elements. The parameters of the CTJ cell in Module I increased with increased concentration. This included the short circuit current, open circuit voltage, power and efficiency. The best performance achieved was at 336 times operational concentration which produced 10.3 W per cell, a cell efficiency of 38.4 percent, and module efficiency of 24.2 percent Investigation of the optical subsystem revealed that the optics played a large role in the operation of the CTJ cell. Characterization of the optical elements showed a transmission loss of 15 percent of concentrated sunlight for the irradiance of which 66 percent of the loss occurred in wavelength region where the InGaP subcell is active. Characterization of the optical subsystem indicated regions of non-uniform irradiance and spectral intensity across the CTJ cell surface. The optical subsystem caused the InGaP subcell of the series monolithic connected CTJ cell to be current limiting. This was confirmed by the CTJ cell having the same short circuit current as the InGaP subcell. The performance of the CTJ cell decreased with an increase in operational temperature. A form of thermal dissipation was needed as 168 times more heat needs to be dissipated when compared to a flat plate photovoltaic module. The thermal dissipation was achieved by passive means with a heat sink which reduced the operational temperature of the CTJ cell from 50 oC to 21 oC above ambient. Cell damage was noted in Module I due to bubbles in the encapsulation epoxy bursting from a high, non-uniform intensity distribution. The development of the second module (Module II) employed a pre-monitoring criteria that characterized the CTJ cells and eliminated faulty cells from the system. These criteria included visual inspection of the cell, electroluminescence and one sun current-voltage (I-V) characteristic curves. Module II was designed as separate units which comprised of a Fresnel lens, refractive secondary, CTJ cell and heatsink. The optimal configuration between the two modules were compared. The CTJ cells in module II showed no form of degradation in the I-V characteristics and in the detected defects. The units under thermal and optical stress showed a progressive degradation. A feature in the I-V curve at V > Vmax was noted for the thermally stressed unit. This feature in the I-V curve may be attributed to the breakdown of the Ge subcell in the CTJ cell. Based on the results obtained from the two experimental HCPV modules, recommendations for an optimal HCPV module were made.

- Description: The increasing interest in non-fossil fuel based electricity generation has caused a prominent boost for the renewable energy sector, especially the field of Photovoltaics (PV) with one of the main reasons being the decrease in cost of PV electricity generation. However, over the last few years a saturation in the efficiency of solar cells have been reached leading into a renewed search for other means to further reduce the cost of electricity generation from photovoltaic sources. One of the technologies that has attracted a lot of attention is low concentration photovoltaics (LCPV). LCPV investigates an alternative strategy to replace costly semiconductor material with relatively cheap optical materials by developing a Low Concentration Photovoltaic (LCPV) module. A LCPV module is divided into three subsystems, namely, the optical, electrical and thermal subsystem. This study focussed on the design, construction and characterisation of an optical subsystem accompanied by a thorough investigation into the design of an electrical subsystem. A facetted parabolic concentrator using a vertical receiver was modelled and a first prototype was constructed having a geometric concentration factor of 6.00 X. Upon electrical characterisation of this first vertical receiver LCPV prototype a concentration of only 4.53 X (receiver 1) and 4.71 X (receiver 2) was obtained. The first vertical receiver LCPV prototype did not reach the expected concentration factor due to optical losses and misalignment of optical elements. The illumination profile obtained from the reflector element was investigated and an undesirable non-uniform illumination profile was discovered. A second vertical receiver LCPV prototype was constructed in an attempt to improve on the first prototype, this second vertical receiver prototype had a geometrical concentration factor of 5.80 X. The results indicated a much improved illumination profile, yet still containing a number of non-uniformities. The second vertical receiver LCPV module yielded an operational concentration factor of 5.34 X. From the preliminary results obtained it was discovered that under concentrated illumination there was a limitation on the maximum power that could be obtained from the receiver. Upon further investigation it was discovered that this limitation was due to the higher current levels under concentrated illumination accompanied by a high series resistance of the receiver. This lead to the construction of new PV receivers, where this limitation could be minimised. 3 cell, 4 cell, 6 cell and 8 cell string configurations were constructed and used for the electrical characterisation of the prototypes. Due to non-uniformity of the illumination profile obtained from the second LCPV prototype a third vertical receiver LCPV prototype was constructed. This vertical receiver design illustrated more uniformity in the obtained illumination distribution and had a geometrical concentration factor of 4.61 X, although under operation only 4.26 X could be obtained. It is important to note that the geometric concentration factor does not account for reflective losses of the reflective material. One of the main reasons for the difficulty in obtaining a uniform illumination profile with the vertical receiver design is that the facetted reflector element is far away from the PV receiver. This enhances the effect of the slightest misalignment of any of the optical elements. This large distance also increases the effect of lensing from each facet. These factors lead to the consideration of a second design, which would counteract these factors. A horizontal receiver LCPV module design implementing a facetted parabolic reflector was considered to counteract these effects. From a mathematical model a horizontal receiver LCPV prototype was constructed having a geometrical concentration factor 5.3 X. The optical characterisation of the illumination profile showed a much improved illumination profile, which was much more uniform than the previous illumination profiles obtained from the other LCPV prototypes. The uniformity of the illumination profile could be seen in results obtained from the electrical characterisation where the concentrator reached operational concentration factor of 5.01 X. The reliability of the third vertical receiver LCPV prototype and the horizontal receiver LCPV prototype as well as the receivers were investigated by placing each receiver under stressed operational conditions for 60 sun hours. I-V characteristics were obtained after every five sun hours to investigate any signs of degradation. After 60 sun hours none of the receiver displayed any signs of degradation or reduction in electrical performance.

The illumination profile obtained from the reflector element was investigated and an undesirable non-uniform illumination profile was discovered. A second vertical receiver LCPV prototype was constructed in an attempt to improve on the first prototype, this second vertical receiver prototype had a geometrical concentration factor of 5.80 X. The results indicated a much improved illumination profile, yet still containing a number of non-uniformities. The second vertical receiver LCPV module yielded an operational concentration factor of 5.34 X. From the preliminary results obtained it was discovered that under concentrated illumination there was a limitation on the maximum power that could be obtained from the receiver. Upon further investigation it was discovered that this limitation was due to the higher current levels under concentrated illumination accompanied by a high series resistance of the receiver. This lead to the construction of new PV receivers, where this limitation could be minimised. 3 cell, 4 cell, 6 cell and 8 cell string configurations were constructed and used for the electrical characterisation of the prototypes. Due to non-uniformity of the illumination profile obtained from the second LCPV prototype a third vertical receiver LCPV prototype was constructed. This vertical receiver design illustrated more uniformity in the obtained illumination distribution and had a geometrical concentration factor of 4.61 X, although under operation only 4.26 X could be obtained. It is important to note that the geometric concentration factor does not account for reflective losses of the reflective material. One of the main reasons for the difficulty in obtaining a uniform illumination profile with the vertical receiver design is that the facetted reflector element is far away from the PV receiver. This enhances the effect of the slightest misalignment of any of the optical elements. This large distance also increases the effect of lensing from each facet. These factors lead to the consideration of a second design, which would counteract these factors. A horizontal receiver LCPV module design implementing a facetted parabolic reflector was considered to counteract these effects. From a mathematical model a horizontal receiver LCPV prototype was constructed having a geometrical concentration factor 5.3 X. The optical characterisation of the illumination profile showed a much improved illumination profile, which was much more uniform than the previous illumination profiles obtained from the other LCPV prototypes. The uniformity of the illumination profile could be seen in results obtained from the electrical characterisation where the concentrator reached operational concentration factor of 5.01 X. The reliability of the third vertical receiver LCPV prototype and the horizontal receiver LCPV prototype as well as the receivers were investigated by placing each receiver under stressed operational conditions for 60 sun hours. I-V characteristics were obtained after every five sun hours to investigate any signs of degradation. After 60 sun hours none of the receiver displayed any signs of degradation or reduction in electrical performance.

- Description: Low concentrator photovoltaic systems are capable of increasing the power produced by conventional silicon photovoltaic cells, thus effectively lowering the cost per kWh. However, power losses associated with resistance and temperature have limited the large scale implementation of this technology. In this study, the optical-,electrical- and thermal sub-systems of a low concentrator photovoltaic system are theoretically and experimentally evaluated with the aim of minimizing the power losses associated with series resistance and temperature. A 7-facet reflector system, with an effective concentration ratio of 4.7, is used to focus irradiance along a string of series connected poly-crystalline photovoltaic cells. I-V characteristics of 4-, 6- and 8-cell photovoltaic receivers are measured under 1-sun and 4.83-sun conditions. Under concentration, the 8-cell photovoltaic receiver produced 23 percent more power than the 4-cell photovoltaic receiver, which suggests that the effect of series resistance can be minimized if smaller, lower current photovoltaic cells are used. A thermal model, which may be used to predict operating temperatures of a low concentrator photovoltaic system, is experimentally evaluated within a thermally insulated enclosure. The temperatures predicted by the thermal model are generally within 5 percent of the experimental temperatures. The high operating temperatures associated with the low concentrator photovoltaic system are significantly reduced by the addition of aluminium heat sink. In addition, the results of a thermal stress test indicated that these high operating temperatures do not degrade the photovoltaic cells used in this study. The results of this study suggest that the power output of low concentrator photovoltaic systems can be maximized by decreasing the size of the photovoltaic cells and including an appropriate heat sink to aid convective cooling.

- Description: It is estimated that 1.6 billion people today live without access to electricity. Most of these people live in remote rural areas in developing countries. One economic solution to this problem is the deployment of small domestic photovoltaic (PV) systems called solar home systems (SHS). In order to improve the performance and reduce the life cycle cost of these systems, accurate monitoring data of real SHSs is required. To this end, two SHSs typical of those found in the field were designed and installed, one in a rural area of the Eastern Cape of South Africa and the other in the laboratory. Monitoring systems were designed to record energy ows in the system and important environmental parameters. A novel technique was developed to correct for measurement errors occurring during the utilization of pulse width modulation charge control techniques. These errors were found to be as large as 47.6 percent. Simulations show that correction techniques produce measurement errors that are up to 20 times smaller than uncorrected values, depending upon the operating conditions. As a tool to aid in the analysis of monitoring data, a PV performance model was developed. The model, used to predict the maximum power point (MPP) power of a PV array, was able to predict MPP energy production to within 0.2 percent over the course of three days. Monitoring data from the laboratory system shows that the largest sources of energy loss are charge control, module under performance relative to manufacturer specifications and operation of the PV array away from MPP. These accounted for losses of approximately 18-27 percent, 15 percent and 8-11 percent of rated PV energy under standard test conditions, respectively. Energy consumed by loads on the systems was less than 50 percent of rated PV energy for both the remote and laboratory systems. Performance ratios (PR) for the laboratory system ranged from 0.38 to 0.49 for the three monitoring periods. The remote system produced a PR of 0.46. In both systems the PV arrays appear to have been oversized. This was due to overestimation of the energy requirements of the loads on the systems. In the laboratory system, the loads consisting of three compact fluorescent lamps and one incandescent lamp, were used to simulate a typical SHS load pro le and collectively consumed only 85 percent of their rated power. The 8 predicted load profile for the remote system proved to be signi cantly overestimated. The results of the monitoring project demonstrate the importance of acquiring an accurate estimation of the energy demand from loads on the system. Overestimations result in over-sized arrays and energy lost to charge control while under-sized systems risk damaging system batteries and load shedding. Significant under-performance of the PV module used in the laboratory system, underlines the importance of measuring module IV curves and verifying manufacturer specifications before system deployment. It was also found that signi cant PV array performance gains could be obtained by the use of maximum power point tracking charge controllers. Increased PV array performance leads to smaller arrays and reduced system cost.

- Description: The objective of this dissertation is the development of the necessary processing steps needed to manufacture infrared photodiodes on InAs1-xSbx material. Preliminary surface preparation steps were performed on both InAs and InSb material, thus covering both possible extremes of the antimony mole fraction. The first experiments endeavoured to characterise the effect of several possible etchants with regards to etch rate, repeatability, limitations for photolithographic patterning and the resultant surface roughness. The etchants investigated include a lactic acid based etchant, a sulphuric acid based etchant, an acetic acid based etchant, an ammonium based etchant, a hydrochloric acid based etchant as well as an organic rinse procedure. These cleaning and etching steps were evaluated at several temperatures. Measurements were performed on an Alpha Step stylus profiler as well as an atomic force microscope. Metal-insulator-semiconductor capacitor devices were manufactured, on both InAs and InSb material, in order to investigate the effects of the above-mentioned etchants combined with surface passivation techniques in terms of surface state densities. Capacitance-versus-bias voltage measurements were done to determine the resultant surface state densities and to compare these to the surface state density of an untreated reference sample. The surface passivation techniques included KOH, Na2S as well as (NH4)2S anodisation. Auger electron spectroscopy measurements were done on InAs and InSb material in order to examine possible surface contamination due to the etchants as well as combinations of these etching and anodisation procedures. The extent of surface coverage by contaminants as well as by the intrinsic elements was measured. The results of the cleaning and etching as well as the surface passivation studies were used to manufacture photovoltaic infrared diodes on an MOCVD (metal oxide chemical vapour deposition) grown p-InAs0.91Sb0.09/i- InAs0.91Sb0.09/n-GaSb structure. Current-versus-voltage and electro-optical measurements were performed on the these diodes in order to evaluate the effect of sulphuric acid based etching combined with KOH, Na2S or (NH4)2S anodisation on the detector performance. The results of surface passivated structures were compared to those of an unpassivated reference detector.

- Description: Photovoltaic (PV) modules based on thin film systems of CuInSe2 (CIS) and its alloys on low cost substrates are promising candidates to meet the long term efficiency, reliability and manufacturing cost goals. The attention to the CIS solar cell technology is because of the high absorption coefficient of the solar cell absorber layer. Solar cells and PV modules are conventionally assessed by measuring the currentvoltage characteristic of the device. This thesis presents an assessment procedure developed capable of assessing the device parameters with reference to I-V measurements. This thesis then characterizes the performance of the CIS based solar cells and modules in conjunction with other PV modules of different technologies such as crystalline Silicon modules by analyzing the light and dark I-V measurements of the devices. The light and dark I-V characteristics of PV devices were investigated and device parameters were extracted from the I-V data. The extraction and interpretation of these device parameters has a variety of important applications. It has been proven that the device parameters can be used for quality control during production and to provide insights into the operation of the PV devices, thereby improving the efficiency of the devices. The assessment comprises light I-V measurements at standard test conditions (STC), irradiance dependence measurements, parasitic series and shunt resistances measurements and the dark I-V measurements of the PV devices. The PV modules assessed comprise different technologies, namely, thin film based modules (CIS and a-Si) and multicrystalline Si and Edged-defined Film-fed Growth Si (EFG-Si). The dark I-V measurements results showed that the EFG-Si module has acceptable shunt (900 W) and series (0.4 W) resistances, thereby leading to the higher power output depicted from the light I-V measurements. The low quality cells of a-Si module were so low that the fill factor was the smallest (43%). In addition, the dark I-V measurements results revealed that CIS modules are less dependent to temperature at high voltages.
