6 FAQs about [Design rules for solar cells]
What is solar cell design?
Solar cell design involves specifying the parameters of a solar cell structure in order to maximize efficiency, given a certain set of constraints. These constraints will be defined by the working environment in which solar cells are produced.
How to design and optimize a solar cell structure?
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.
What are the objectives of solar cell structure design?
Maximization of solar cell quantum eficiency ( Qe) [28, 32] and minimization of microcrystalline silicon layer thickness ( d c-Si ) are two objectives of the cell struc-ture design.
What is the structure of a solar cell?
The solar cell structure in Fig. 1 is a layer-wise composition. The layers are designed by varying the mentioned four categories of variations (cf. Table 2). Each design, therefore, requires approximation of its layer interface roughness that maximizes its quantum eficiency and minimizes its fabrication cost.
Why is solar cell design Char-acterization important?
Our solar cells design char-acterization enables us to perform a cost-benefit analysis of solar cells usage in real-world applications. Varun Ojha and Giorgio Jansen contributed equally to this work.
How can a solar cell absorb only a band gap?
This is achieved in theory by modeling an infinite stack of solar cells of different band gap materials, each absorbing only the photons which correspond exactly to its band gap. The second factor is that the high theoretical efficiency predictions assume a high concentration ratio.
