We present a large-area luminescent down-shifting layer consists of polyvinyl alcohol embedding a newly synthesized ternary Eu3+ complex. C-Si solar cell coated with this layer displayed an enhancement of ~15% in external quantum efficiency.

The spectral response of the Si solar cell does not coincidence with the sun irradiance spectrum, so the efficiency of the Si solar cell is not high. To improve the Si solar cell one try to make use of most region of the sun spectrum by using dyes which absorb un useful wavelengths and radiate at useful region of spectrum (by stock shift). Fluorescence's dye is used as luminescent concentrator to increase the efficiency of the solar cell. The results show that the performance efficiency and out power for crystalline silicon solar cells are improved.

ABSTRACTWe investigate the influence of the crystallinity of the absorber layer and parasitic absorption in the doped layers and electrodes on the external quantum efficiency and reflection of microcrystalline silicon (μc-Si:H) solar cells. Using an optical light scattering model we systematically study variations in the crystallinity and validate a simple normalization procedure that allows assessing the gains that can be achieved by reducing the parasitic absorption. The optimization potential is demonstrated with solar cell samples with increased crystallinity and eliminated parasitic absorption.
