Optimization of Three-terminal Perovskite/Silicon Tandem Solar Cell Using Opto-electrical Simulations in TCAD Sentaurus

Perovskite/Silicon tandem cells are gradually becoming more promising in the field of photovoltaic technology since they have already surpassed the theoretical power conversion efficiency (PCE) limit of single junction (SJ) silicon cells (~30%), while they can be commercially compatible. Several architectures of Perovskite/silicon devices were...

Development of four-terminal mechanically-stacked solar cells utilising hydrogenated amorphous silicon oxide (a-SiO_x:H) and crystalline silicon cells

A tremendous amount of research in improving the efficiency of the single junction crystalline silicon (c-Si) based solar cells has brought its efficiency (26.6%) close to the theoretical maximum achievable conversion<br/>efficiency (29.43%) [1–3]. Thus to further improve the efficiency, new avenues of reducing losses need to be opened up. One...
