Optimization of amorphous silicon thin film solar cells for flexible photovoltaics
We investigate amorphous silicon a-Si:H thin film solar cells in the n-i-p or substrate configuration that allows the use of nontransparent and flexible substrates such as metal or plastic foils such as polyethylene-naphtalate PEN . A substrate texture is used to scatter the light at each interface, which increases the light trapping in the active layer. In the first part, we investigate the re...
متن کاملOptimization of Amorphous Silicon Solar Cells on Polymer Film Substrates
In this paper the authors present the results of different investigations concerning the development of a-Si:H solar cells on plastic film substrates. More precisely, this paper will discuss a) the evaluation and test of different polymer films as a suitable material for a-Si:H solar cell deposition, b) the optimisation of inverted n-i-p solar cells, and c) texturation of the plastic films by O...
متن کاملThin-film Silicon Solar Cells
The simplest semiconductor junction that is used in solar cells for separating photogenerated charge carriers is the p-n junction, an interface between the p-type region and ntype region of one semiconductor. Therefore, the basic semiconductor property of a material, the possibility to vary its conductivity by doping, has to be demonstrated first before the material can be considered as a suita...
متن کاملOptimization of light trapping in polycrystalline silicon thin film solar cells using two-layer nanoparticle structure
Metal nanoparticles have been investigated as an efficient method to enhance the light absorption in thin film solar cell due to the surface plasmonic scattering. In this paper, we studied the light trapping by modifying the common silicon-nanoparticle-dielectric-back reflector structure. We reported the short circuit current (Jsc) enhancement of a two-layer nanoparticle structure, coated with ...
متن کاملThin-film crystalline silicon solar cells
A photoelectric conversion efficiency of over 10% has been achieved in thin-film polycrystalline silicon solar cells which consists of a 2 μm thick layer of polycrystalline silicon with a very small grain size (microcrystalline silicon) formed by low-temperature plasma CVD. This has shown that if the recombination velocity at grain boundaries can be made very small, then it is not necessarily i...
