On The Capacitance Of Crystalline Silicon Solar Cells In Steady State, Fabe Idrissa Barro, Moustapha Sane, Bernard Zouma

Turkish Journal of Physics

In this work, an analytical approach is presented for modeling the capacitance of crystalline silicon solar cells. Based on a one-dimensional modeling of the cell, the excess minority carrier density, the photovoltage, and the capacitance are calculated. The motivation of this work are two-fold: to show base doping density and illumination effects on the capacitance of silicon solar cells, and to propose a determination technique for both dark capacitance and base doping density from C-V characteristics.
