Modeling Mathematical of the Behavior of Up Converter when Implemented in Bifacial Silicon Solar Cells

Up Converters implemented in solar cells have theoretical efficiencies of the conversion much higher than the actual and a much smaller production price. However, the experimental results in the present are not approaching the theoretical calculated values, because they have a small increase in photocurrent by incorporating the bifacial solar cell, for example. Hence, it is necessary dispose a quantitative tool for the characterization of candidate materials as up converter, which permits realize an influence sensibility analyzes of certain parameters and contrasts with the real values founded. Thus, the fundamental objective of this work is to develop a mathematical model to study the behavior of up converters, based on realistic parameters found in the literature, when implemented in silicon bifacial solar cells. Besides, exemplifies this model getting comparative results (I x V curve) for different materials used as an up converter when incorporated in silicon bifacial solar cells using the unidimensional software, PC1-D, in order to get the best candidates to be used.
