摘要： A load management system for a solar photovoltaic (PV) system is disclosed. The load management system may include a PV array of solar modules, a plurality of loads configured to be powered by the PV array and switched on or off by a plurality of respective relays, a power sensor configured to measure an amount of power delivered from the PV array to the plurality of loads, and a controller coupled to the power sensor and the plurality of relays. The controller may be configured to determine a first power output of the PV array at a first time, switch a load, determine a second power output of the PV array at a second time, compare the first power output and the second power output, and based on the comparison, maintain the switched load or undo the switching of the load.

摘要： Methods for light-induced electroplating of aluminum are disclosed herein. Exemplary methods may comprise preparing an ionic liquid comprising aluminum chloride (AlCl3) and an organic halide, placing the silicon substrate into the ionic liquid, illuminating the silicon substrate, the illumination passing through the ionic liquid, and depositing aluminum onto the silicon substrate via a light-induced electroplating process, wherein the light-induced electroplating process utilizes an applied current that does not exceed a photo-generated current generated by the illumination.

摘要： Principles of the present disclosure present a new concept for solar photovoltaic systems wherein the load to the photovoltaic system is digitally managed. This allows for much higher system efficiency along with a much lower system cost as compared to traditional solar photovoltaic systems in specific applications. By eliminating storage and power electronics typically present in traditional solar photovoltaic systems, exemplary systems achieve a cost reduction of over 50%, while the system efficiency is improved to over 95%.

摘要： Electroplating of aluminum may be utilized to form electrodes for solar cells. In contrast to expensive silver electrodes, aluminum allows for reduced cell cost and addresses the problem of material scarcity. In contrast to copper electrodes which typically require barrier layers, aluminum allows for simplified cell structures and fabrication steps. In the solar cells, point contacts may be utilized in the backside electrodes for increased efficiency. Solar cells formed in accordance with the present disclosure enable large-scale and cost-effective deployment of solar photovoltaic systems.
