Quenching Mo optical losses in CIGS solar cells by a point contacted dual-layer dielectric spacer: a 3-D optical study.

A 3-D optical modelling was calibrated to calculate the light absorption and the total reflection of fabricated CIGS solar cells. Absorption losses at molybdenum (Mo) / CIGS interface were explained in terms of plasmonic waves. To quench these losses, we assumed the insertion of a lossless dielectric spacer between Mo and CIGS, whose optical properties were varied. We show that such a spacer wi...

Enhanced optical absorption in organic solar cells using metal nano particles

In this study, for increasing absorption of the active layer in bulk hetero junction (BHJ) organic solar cells (OSCs) we used surface Plasmon effects of metal nano particles (MNPs). We embedded the MNPs inside the active layer and studied the device structure. For shown the results we investigated the model of our structure with Finite Difference Time Domain (FDTD) numerical method and achieved...

INFLUENCE 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.
