ABSTRACTIncreasing solar cell efficiency by using spectral conversion is addressed in this article. To that purpose rare-earth doped YAG nanoparticles exhibiting down-conversion and quantum cutting properties have been prepared. These nanoparticles have been synthesized with different concentrations of dopants in order to optimize the luminescence and the quantum cutting efficiency. Results on the incorporation of selected material into the encapsulating layer of c-Si based PV-modules are also presented. The effect of down-conversion has been demonstrated through the increase of photocurrent of encapsulated silicon solar cells.

Purpose The aim of this paper is to apply a watery infrared filter for silicon solar cell efficiency enhancement in Kerman province of Iran as a talent region for solar energy production. Design/methodology/approach With this research, the water is applied as a filter for silicon solar cells in different volumes and thicknesses. Findings The obtained results showed that using various amounts of water could be a suitable choice for increasing the efficiency of silicon solar cells. Originality/value Other wavelength regions just cause the increase in the entropy and decrease in the efficiency. With this research, the water is applied as a filter for silicon solar cell in different volumes and thickness. The obtained results showed that using different thicknesses of water could be suitable choice for increasing the efficiency of silicon solar cell.
