Abstract

The characteristics of a single solar cell made by CdS thin film deposition on a silicon glass substrate were estimated using simulation models in this study. An aluminum electrode was attached to a silicon wafer to produce a heterojunction, and the indium fingers were fashioned into another electrode and connected directly to the CdS layer. Simulation steps were performed using PV*SOL 3.0 software package and bias points (ISC, VOC ) models. In addition to the use of advanced programs such as MATLAB software (Shell SQ150 PV module), Mathcad 2000 program, and Origin Lab 2019 program.Simulation programs for extracting photovoltaic parameters have been executed together with the laboratory procedures. The simulation programs and experimental procedures aimed in general to know the (current-voltage) and (power-voltage) characteristics of the studied single-diode photovoltaic.
