Optimization of plasmonic white paint back reflector for flat poly-SiOx passivated silicon solar cells

Crystalline silicon (c-Si) has low absorption coefficient in the near infra-red spectrum(NIR), which results in transmission losses in this region. This means there is a need for a back reflector in c-Si solar cells to capture the NIR light. One of the easiest ways of capturing NIR light is by using a reflective metal layer deposited onto a...
