The modernization that is currently taking over across the world is resulting in numerous advancements in a variety of industries, and the most notable and apparent development is the rising use of solar energy, which has become more prevalent every day. Most companies, residences, schools, and other organizations rely mostly on solar energy as the main source of electricity. It was discovered that anti-reflective coating (ARC) had been applied to solar cells with the goal of increasing power conversion efficiency, decreasing reflection loss, and improving absorption. Although a single layer of ARC is sufficient, applying an additional layer might improve the solar cell application's effectiveness. Hence, the modeling and analysis of double layers of anti-reflection coating (ARC) with different types of materials have been investigated and evaluated using personal computer one-dimensional (PC1D) simulation software. In this study, the double-layer anti-reflection coating on the solar cell was modeled using PC1D, where this software allowed for one-dimensional simulation of the parameters required for the operation of semiconductor-based solar energy systems. The PC1D simulation reveals that SiO2/TiO2 has the highest efficiency (22.82%) and lowest reflection compared to Si3N4/TiO2 and ZnO/TiO2. Also, SiO2/TiO2 generates the highest external quantum efficiency (EQE) among ARC double layers, making it ideal for silicon solar cell applications in order to boost the solar cell's efficiency.
