Solar cell simulation software offers an intuitive platform enabling researchers to efficiently model, simulate, analyze, and optimize photovoltaic devices and accelerate desired innovations in solar cell technologies.
When designing and optimizing a solar cell structure, we use two light-trapping methods: light-trapping BR layer and nano-texturing. Metals like silver (Ag) maybe used as a BR layer, while alkaline solutions like KOH or NaOH are used for nano-texturing of layer’s interfaces.
Solar cells structural components that can be optimized are layers thickness [20, 27], layers interface roughness and diffraction grating , type of materials used in the cell , and the variations in the BR [12, 24]. Numerical simulation and optical simulation [28, 32] are used for thin-film solar cell structure optimization.
The cell geometry (structure) can be optimized by modifying mesoscale features (thickness of the different layers) and nano-scale features (nano-texturing of the interfaces of the layers). The mesoscale features optimization relies on processing time of growing Si layers, and it directly impacts fabrication cost of solar cells.
The utility simplifies common tasks associated with solar cell design and aids in the rigorous computation of J-V curves, quantum efficiency spectra, and overall cell-efficiency. The basic version of the Solar Cell Utility uses a simple electronic model and operates with one or more RSoft optical simulation tools .
