Threshold voltage for arcing on negatively biased solar arrays

The arcing that has been found to occur when negatively biased high-voltage solar arrays in LEO lie at a critical voltage with respect to the plasma environment is presently proposed to be due to a breakdown of gas emitted under electron bombardment from the solar cells'' cover-glass. The elements of the model for this phenomenon include an electron current …

Photovoltaic Effect: An Introduction to Solar Cells

The solar cell is the basic building block of solar photovoltaics. When charged by the sun, this basic unit generates a dc photovoltage of 0.5 to 1.0V and, in short circuit, a photocurrent of some tens of mA/cm2. Since the voltage is too small for most applications, to produce a useful voltage, the cells are connected in series into

The change in this apparent threshold with plasma density is a reflection of the density dependence of the arc rate. A nearly linear dependence of arc rate on density is inferred from the data. A real voltage threshold for arcing for 2 by 2 cm solar cells may exist however, independent of plasma density, near -230 V relative to the plasma.

The Effect of Wavelength on Photovoltaic Cells

For a voltage to develop across the PN-junction of a solar cell. the incident radiation must exceed the band gap energy. This is different for different materials. It is 1.11 electron volts for silicon, which is the material used most often for solar cells. One electron volt = 1.6 × 10-19 joules, so the band gap energy is 1.78 × 10-19 joules ...
