Design and simulation of different anti-reflection coatings (ARCs) to improve the efficiency of ZnO solar cells

Design and simulation of different anti-reflection coatings (ARCs) to improve the efficiency of ZnO solar cells

Zinc oxide (ZnO) has recently been recognized as one of the prospective materials in applications involving solar cells, due to a number of aspects that render this material preferable than silicon and other types of solar cell materials in both terms of cost and efficiency. In this study, the simul...

Zinc oxide (ZnO) has recently been recognized as one of the prospective materials in applications involving solar cells, due to a number of aspects that render this material preferable than silicon and other types of solar cell materials in both terms of cost and efficiency. In this study, the simulation was conducted on single, double and triple layers anti-reflective coatings (ARC) made up from different materials are applied on n-ZnO/p-Si solar cell using PC1D simulation software. The results of the simulation consist of the effects of current, voltage, maximum power output, reflection, and external quantum efficiency (EQE) at the wavelength of 600 nm are tabulated and analysed further between single, double and triple layers ARC zinc oxide solar cell. © The Author(s), under exclusive licence to The Optical Society of India 2024.
