| Research Abstract |
For increasing power generation in an installation area, it has been proposed three-dimensional photovoltaic module using Fibonacci numbers (FPM: Fibonacci numbers Photovoltaic Module). FPM power generation characteristics have been studied by the computer simulation considered influence of a shadow and the field test devices with the single crystalline silicon solar cells. It is shown that the power generation in an installation area of the FPM with double stages is 1.5 times that of a conventional planar module. In the FPM with double stages, it is given the most power generation when the second stage cell size is the same of the first stage one.
