Therefore, materials with high absorption across the entire solar spectrum are highly desirable. In this study, several TF solar cell configurations based on Silicon Germanium (Si1-xGex) alloys have been investigated. With the help of PC1D software, TF c-Si solar cells with varying composition of Si1-xGex layers with x in the range of 4 % to 50 % have been modeled. In all cases, Si1-xGex solar cells performed better than c-Si TF solar cells; the optimized Ge concentration was determined to be 20%. For example, in case of 10-μm thick TF solar cell, crystalline Si/Si1-xGex exhibits simulated efficiency of ∼ 22 % in contrast with ∼ 17 % for same thickness c-Si solar cell. Optimization of the alloy composition, doping concentration of the Si1-xGex, thickness of the alloy layer and placement of the layer in the cell structure will be reported at the conference. 2016-06-28T05:18:38Z 2016-06-28T05:18:38Z 2014-10-15 Article 2014 IEEE 40th Photovoltaic Specialist Conference, PVSC 2014, pages 1317-1320 978-147994398-2 http://dspace.unimap.edu.my:80/xmlui/handle/123456789/42214 http://dx.doi.org/10.1109/PVSC.2014.6925160 en Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc. |
