Opto-Electrical Simulation of Perovskite/Silicon Tandem Solar Cell: ASA optimization of Pvk/c-Si tandem simulation

Emerging PV technologies like Perovskite has lead to the development of Perovskite/Silicon (Pvk/c-Si) tandem device (Multi-junction device) and has now gained a lot of momentum and attention due to the fact that the tandem device can reach a Shockley-Quisser limit of about 44.1% efficiency. But to speed up its development, a lot of emphasis is...

Optimizations of high-efficiency silicon heterojunction solar cells for tandem applications

Silicon heterojunction (SHJ) solar cells have exhibited efficiencies well above 25%. To further boost the efficiencies of c-Si-based solar cells, high-bandgap perovskite cells are stacked on top achieving a record efficiency of 29.52%. However, as most of the high-quality perovskite films are solution-processed, the front surface of the bottom...

Investigation of textured c-Si wafers for application in silicon heterojunction solar cells

The hydrogenated amorphous/crystalline silicon (a-Si:H/c-Si) heterojunction (SHJ) solar cell is considered a great competitor of the most commercialized homojunction c-Si solar cells while it combines the high performance and the low cost potential of c-Si and a-Si technologies, respectively. Furthermore, the implementation of thin intrinsic (i)...
