The Effects of Nonuniform Illumination on the Electrical Performance of a Single Conventional Photovoltaic Cell

Table 4

The effect of nonuniform illumination orientations (along and across the grids of a PV cell) on various cell performance parameters at low energy concentration ratio. In each case, the level of nonuniform illumination was 25% of the total cell area.

Nonuniform illumination location on the PV cell	PV cell performance parameters
	(±0.0080 V)	(±0.0034 A)	(W)	FF	(%)
Along the PV cell grids (Figure 1(b))	0.5879	6.0112	2.4278	0.6870	14.6938
Across the PV cell grids (Figure 1(c))	0.5778	6.0208	2.3602	0.6784	14.2834
