Abstract: A theoretical study of a vertical junction silicon solar cell in frequency modulation, with incidence angle effect under a monochromatic illumination has been done. Based on the diffusion-recombination equation, the expression of excess minority carrier density in the base was established according to the modulation frequency and the illumination incidence angle. Photocurrent density, photovoltage, series and shunt resistances are then deduced. The objective of this work is to show the effects of both modulation frequency and illumination incidence angle on these electrical parameters.
Keywords: Vertical junction – incidence Angle – frequency modulation.
