dc.description.abstract | The performance of a dye-sensitized solar
module (DSSM) has been investigated under different air
mass (AM), irradiance intensity and temperature conditions
in Nairobi, Kenya. The good response of the DSSM to short
wavelength radiation made it perform well at increased AM
values as compared to what is reported of Amorphous Silicon
(a-Si) photovoltaic (PV) devices. The DSSM performed better
compared to what is reported of a-Si PV devices under
irradiance and temperature dependence. The results are
useful in PV sizing, especially in the area of Building
Integrated Photovoltaics (BIPV) in Kenya and the tropics. | en_US |
