متن کاملDiffraction and absorption enhancement from textured back reflectors of thin film solar cells
We study light scattering and absorption in thin film solar cells, using a model system of a sinusoidally textured silver reflector and dielectric layers of ZnO and amorphous silicon. Experimental results are compared to a theoretical model based on a Rayleigh expansion. Taking into account the explicit interface profile, the expansion converges fast and can be truncated typically after three o...
متن کاملElectrophoretic deposited TiO(2) pigment-based back reflectors for thin film solar cells.
Highly reflective coatings with strong light scattering effect have many applications in optical components and optoelectronic devices. This work reports titanium dioxide (TiO(2)) pigment-based reflectors that have 2.5 times higher broadband diffuse reflection than commercially produced aluminum or silver based reflectors and result in efficiency enhancements of a single-junction amorphous Si s...
متن کاملTowards high efficiency thin film solar cells
As an alternative to single crystal silicon photovoltaics, thin film solar cells have been extensively explored for miniaturized cost-effective photovoltaic systems. Though the fight to gain efficiency has been severely engaged over the years, the battle is not yet over. In this review, we comb the fields to elucidate the strategies towards high efficiency thin films solar cells and provide poi...
متن کاملINFLUENCE OF BASE THICKNESS ON FRONT AND BACK SIDE EFFICIENCY OF THIN FILM GaAs SOLAR CELLS
Compared to conventional solar cells on a substrate, thin film GaAs cells show a higher efficiency at a lower thickness due to back surface reflection. The optimal cell thickness is 1.7 μm. Thin film cells can also be illuminated from the rear side with an efficiency only 15% (relative) lower than for front side illumination.
