Development of the Basis for in Process Metrology for Roll to Roll Production of Flexible Photo Voltaics

This paper reports on the recent work carried out as part of the EU funded NanoMend project. The project seeks to develop integrated process inspection, cleaning, repair and control systems for thin films on flexible PV films. based on CIGS (Copper Indium Gallium Selenide CuInxGa (1-x)Se2). These films are fabricated on polymer film by the repeated deposition, and patterning, of thin layer mate...

Numerical Simulation of CdS/CIGS Tandem Multi-Junction Solar Cells with AMPS-1D

Numerical modeling of polycrystalline thin-film solar cell serves as an imperative procedure to test the suitability of proposed physical clarification and to anticipate the effect of physical changes on cell performance. All in all, this must be conducted with only partial knowledge of input parameters. In this paper, we evaluated the numerical simulation of CdS/CIGS tandem multi junction sola...

Correlation of micro and nano-scale defects with WVTR for aluminium oxide barrier coatings for flexible photovoltaic modules

This paper seeks to establish a correlation between surface topographical defects and Water Vapour Transmission Rate (WVTR) measured under laboratory conditions for aluminium-oxide (Al2O3) barrier film employed in flexible photovoltaic (PV) modules. Defects in the barrier layers of PV modules causing high WVTR are not well characterised and understood. A WVTR of ~10 g/m/day is sufficient for th...

The Effect of Doping and the Thickness of the Layers on CIGS Solar Cell Efficiency

The main problemswith the use of fossil fuels is the restrictions on their access and the detrimental consequences of their use which causes a threat to human health and quality of life. Consequently, the use of other energy sources has become necessary. Renewable Energy as a permanent and clean energy source is an answer to this problem. One such energy source includes photovoltaic solar energ...

Employing Si solar cell technology to increase efficiency of ultra-thin Cu(In,Ga)Se2 solar cells

Reducing absorber layer thickness below 500 nm in regular Cu(In,Ga)Se2 (CIGS) solar cells decreases cell efficiency considerably, as both short-circuit current and open-circuit voltage are reduced because of incomplete absorption and high Mo/CIGS rear interface recombination. In this work, an innovative rear cell design is developed to avoid both effects: a highly reflective rear surface passiv...
