Abstract

International Journal of Multidisciplinary Studies (IJMS) is published by the Faculty of Graduate Studies - University of Sri Jayewardenepura. IJMS provides a supportive environment for multidisciplinary researchers to publish their contribution to the academy of knowledge and wisdom. Focus of the journal is on multidisciplinary research which should cover at least two distinct disciplines.

Highlights

  • The efficiency of a thin-film solar cell can be increased by using two or more cells connected in series such as one cell can absorb the part of the spectrum and the other cells can absorb the rest of the spectrum

  • 1D )can be used as a simulation program for numerical modeling of single and multi-junction photovoltai structures. This is developed at the Department of Electronics and Information Systems (ELIS) of the University of Gent, Belgium (Burgelman et al 2000)

  • The performance of the proposed solar cell structure has been examined by using SCAPS-1D or AMPS-1D software

Summary

INTRODUCTION

The efficiency of a thin-film solar cell can be increased by using two or more cells connected in series such as one cell can absorb the part of the spectrum and the other cells can absorb the rest of the spectrum. Thin film PV solar cells have been used to create Tandem/multi-junction solar cells(Guha et al 2013). We tried to make the best efficient tandem solar cell structures by selecting MZO/CdTe and CdS/CIGS cell structures. This is developed at the Department of Electronics and Information Systems (ELIS) of the University of Gent, Belgium (Burgelman et al 2000). This software was originally developed for cell structures of the CuInSe2 and the CdTe family and it is applicable to crystalline solar cells (Si and GaAs family) and amorphous cells (a-Si and micromorphous Si) (Heriche et al 2017)
