چکیده
Angular dependency of the reflectivity of two distinct nano-textured and planar reference liquid-phase crystallized silicon solar cells are investigated. We show that nano-textured layers outperform planar devices for all incident angles. OCIS codes: 040.5350, 310.6845

Analyzing periodic and random textured silicon thin film solar cells by Rigorous Coupled Wave Analysis
A simple and fast method was developed to determine the quantum efficiency and short circuit current of thin-film silicon solar cells prepared on periodically or randomly textured surfaces. The optics was studied for microcrystalline thin-film silicon solar cells with integrated periodic and random surface textures. Rigorous Coupled Wave Analysis (RCWA) was used to investigate the behaviour of ...

متن کاملInfluence of interface morphologies on amorphous silicon thin film solar cells prepared on randomly textured substrates
The influence of the interface morphologies on amorphous silicon thin-film solar cells prepared on randomly textured substrates was studied. A simple three-dimensional geometrical model was developed to describe the surface morphology of amorphous silicon films and thin-film solar cells. The simulated surface morphologies are confirmed by experimental measurements. A detailed understanding of t...
متن کاملSinusoidal nanotextures for light management in silicon thin-film solar cells.
Recent progresses in liquid phase crystallization enabled the fabrication of thin wafer quality crystalline silicon layers on low-cost glass substrates enabling conversion efficiencies up to 12.1%. Because of its indirect band gap, a thin silicon absorber layer demands for efficient measures for light management. However, the combination of high quality crystalline silicon and light trapping st...
متن کاملLatest Results on Stabilized Flexible Thin Film Silicon Solar Cells
Our primary goal is to increase the stabilized efficiency of thin film silicon solar cells in the substrate (nip) configuration by using textured substrates and tandem structures, based on amorphous (a-Si:H) and microcrystalline silicon (μc-Si:H). In order to reduce costs of mass-produced thin film solar modules, special attention has been paid in developing processes compatible with plastic fo...
