Abstract
Effect of defect density in different layers and ambient temperature of n-i-p a-Si single junction solar cells performance
Highlights
The performance of any solar cell depends on the various parameters such as cell design, material properties and its fabrication technologies
In this present paper we study the effect of defect density in different layers of n-i-p Amorphous silicon (a-Si) single junction solar cell used numerical simulation approach for n-i-p a-Si single junction solar cell
The defect density is playing a very crucial role in solar cell performance. It is clearly shown in given table that when we increase the defect density in window layer, p-layer, i-layer and BSF layer, the conversion efficiency is decreased, Which shows that when a defect is present in any layer, conversing efficiency will be decreased automatically
Summary
The performance of any solar cell depends on the various parameters such as cell design, material properties and its fabrication technologies. Several groups do good works on n-i-p a-Si single junction solar cells which shows that the convergent efficiency varying with defect densities and ambient temprature[2,3,4,5,6]. In this present paper we study the effect of defect density (neutral defect) in different layers of n-i-p a-Si single junction solar cell used numerical simulation approach for n-i-p a-Si single junction solar cell. For the simulation process we used Solar cell Capacitance Simulators(SCAPS-1D) version-2.8, developed by Marc Burgelman and his team from department if electronics and information system (ELIS) University of Gent, Belgium This simulation approach is very valuable tool in modeling of any thin film or a-Si solar cell[7]. Ambient temperature change playing the major role in solar cell performance[9]
