In this work, a silicon solar cell HIT (heterojunction with intrinsic thin-layer) a-Si:H(n)/a-Si:H(i)/c-Si(p) was simulated using AFORS-HET software. The influence of layer thickness and temperature of the solar cell under study on its photovoltaic characteristics is discussed. When optimizing the above characteristics, its effectiveness reaches a value of 19.1%. The results obtained are the foundation for further scientific and technological research on the development of highly efficient silicon solar cells.

Purpose The aim of this paper is to apply a watery infrared filter for silicon solar cell efficiency enhancement in Kerman province of Iran as a talent region for solar energy production. Design/methodology/approach With this research, the water is applied as a filter for silicon solar cells in different volumes and thicknesses. Findings The obtained results showed that using various amounts of water could be a suitable choice for increasing the efficiency of silicon solar cells. Originality/value Other wavelength regions just cause the increase in the entropy and decrease in the efficiency. With this research, the water is applied as a filter for silicon solar cell in different volumes and thickness.

— Utilization of solar photovoltaic is increasing dayby day to reduce dependence on the power grid. Decompositionof 1st and 3rd generation silicon solar cells not only depends uponthe plastic and other materials but also the hazardous elementmainly used as their character on the bases of which they arecategorized as 1st , 2nd and 3rd contemporaries solar cells. Theseingredient are mostly carcinogenic and some of them having lifespan of more than 100 years. After abjection of solar cells, theyremain in the soil for many years and cause serious problem toland environment and also responsible for causing carcinogenicdisease in human and other living beings. This paper exploresdecomposition rates of the chemical element mainly used in 1stand 3rd generation solar cells throughout the past years, possibleenvironmental and health effects by the hazardous elements usedin them typically silicon (atomic number 14) and focusing onpossible suggested solutions or alternatives.

Perovskite Nanoparticles

AbstractThe nanoparticles of CH3NH3PbBr3hybrid perovskites were synthesized. These perovskite nanoparticles we embedded in polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA) in order to obtain the composite, which we used as light converter for silicon solar cells. It was shown that the composite emit the light with the intensity maximum at about 527 nm when exited by a short wavelength (300÷450 nm) of light. The silicon solar cells were used to examine the effect of down-conversion (DC) process by perovskite nanoparticles embedded in PMMA. For experiments, two groups of monocrystalline silicon solar cells were used. The first one included the solar cells without surface texturization and antireflection coating. The second one included the commercial cells with surface texturization and antireflection coating. In every series of the cells one part of the cells were covered by composite (CH3NH3PbBr3in PMMA) layer and second part of cells by pure PMMA for comparison. It was shown that External Quantum Efficiency EQE of the photovoltaic cells covered by composite (CH3NH3PbBr3in PMMA) layer was improved in both group of the cells but unfortunately the Internal Quantum Efficiency was reduced. This reduction was caused by high absorption of the short wavelength light and reabsorption of the luminescence light. Therefore, the CH3NH3PbBr3perovskite nanoparticles embedded in PMMA matrix were unable to increase silicon solar cell efficiency in the tested systems.

Large Area

The performance of black silicon solar cells with various passivation films was characterized. Large area (156×156 mm2) black silicon was prepared by silver-nanoparticle-assisted etching on pyramidal silicon wafer. The conversion efficiency of black silicon solar cell without passivation is 13.8%. For the SiO2andSiNx:H passivation, the conversion efficiency of black silicon solar cells increases to 16.1% and 16.5%, respectively. Compared to the single film of surface passivation of black silicon solar cells, the SiO2/SiNx:H stacks exhibit the highest efficiency of 17.1%. The investigation of internal quantum efficiency (IQE) suggests that the SiO2/SiNx:H stacks films decrease the Auger recombination through reducing the surface doping concentration and surface state density of the Si/SiO2interface, andSiNx:H layer suppresses the Shockley-Read-Hall (SRH) recombination in the black silicon solar cell, which yields the best electrical performance of b-Si solar cells.

Interface tailoring is an effective approach towards high performance Graphene/Silicon Schottky-barrier solar cells. Inserting a thin graphene oxide (GO) interfacial layer can improve the efficiency of graphene/silicon solar cells by >100%. Further performance optimization leads to 12.3% of power conversion efficiency (PCE). To date, a record PCE has been achieved on the same device level.
