Solar Cell Performance

AbstractEnhanced light absorption and improved photon harvesting is a major avenue to improving solar cell performance. We simulate and design photonic crystal based loss-less back reflectors. The photonic crystal is a 2-dimensional photonic crystal combined with a distributed Bragg reflector. We have designed and simulated a thin film a-Si:H solar cell with the photonic crystal reflector and an antireflection coating. The photonic crystal has square lattice symmetry and generates strong diffraction of near band edge photons in the absorber layer. The absorption of red and near-IR photons is increased by more than an order of magnitude by the photonic crystal. The photonic crystals are composed of ITO and can easily serve as a conducting back contact. This scheme can be easily extended to other solar absorber layers. We have optimized the geometry of the photonic crystal to maximize absorption using rigorous scattering matrix simulations. The optical path length with the photonic crystal can improve over the limit for a random roughened scattering surface.

Absorption Of Light

In this study we present optimized shape, size and material of plasmonic nanoparticles in thin film solar cell. For this purpose, we chose silicon active layer solar cell, on the top of active layer another layer of silicon dioxide was used as antireflection coating. Thickness of ARC layer was kept 71nm. On the top of ARC layer metallic nanoparticles were placed. Parameters of NP’s such as shape, size and material were varied. Respective variations in the absorption of light in the active silicon layer were observed respectively. Absorption patterns were plotted against wavelength range of 400nm to 1400nm of incident light radiation using Finite Element Method (FEM). Results revealed the most optimized size and shape of nanoparticles that can contribute to the absorption of light in the active layer of the solar cell. Results also distinguished the best material for nanoparticle.
