As a 1D nanostructural material, CNTs have potential applications in solar collection and IR sensing due to their unique properties such as direct band gap, wide range of band gaps [5], and reduced carrier scattering [31]. Many researchers are looking into CNT optoelectronics, and the photoconductivity of CNTs has been studied in thin SWCNT films [9,10,32] and single SWCNT transistors [12]. It has also been demonstrated that both semiconducting and metallic SWCNTs can function as photodetectors over a wide spectral range using capacitive photocurrent measurement [14]. Moreover, a single SWCNT p–n junction diode was built in [15] to demonstrate its photovoltaic effect.
Optimal lamination test of ethylene vinyl acetate sheets for solar modules
Published in Journal of Applied Statistics, 2019
The world is facing the challenge of overcoming an energy crisis. There is concern about the diminishing deposits and growing pollution of nonrenewable energy resources such as coal, natural gas, and crude oil. Thus, many developed countries have developed alternative energy sources. Among such alternative energy sources, solar power is a renewable, inexhaustible, and ultimate source of energy. Solar power involves the conversion of sunlight into electricity through the photovoltaic effect by using solar modules designed to absorb sun rays. Typical solar modules consist of transparent top tempered glass, a number of interconnected solar cells, ethylene vinyl acetate (EVA) sheets, back sheets, and an aluminum frame around the edge. Figure 1 shows the structure of solar modules.
