Etude de l'effet de l'épaisseur de la couche et de la température sur le rendement électrique des cellules solaires à base des couche

Abstract

One of the most abundant renewable energy sources is the sun, which is available in abundance to convert solar energy into electricity by photovoltaic devices, this conversion is a promising way to exploit this sustainable energy source. One of the ways proposed to reduce the cost per watt is to reduce the cost of manufacturing the photovoltaic cell. This has motivated research towards the production of cheap solar cell with less material using thin films a-Si, CdTe, CIGS…. In this modeling and simulation work, we use the SCAPS-1D software, to study the effect of layer thickness on the one hand and on the other hand the effect of temperature on the short-circuit current Jsc, the open-circuit voltage Voc, the form factor FF and the electrical efficiency η of the CIGS cell for a simple junction structure Mo/p-CIGS/pSi/In2S3/i-ZnO/Al-ZnO, and the efficiency obtained after the simulation is 33.21%.
