Abstract

The most significant challenge for environment and renewable energy researchers is to achieve good performance, as well as cost efficiency in terms of solar generators especially in the PV sector. Regarding the thin film solar cells based on Cu(In,Ga)Se2, the present work dissertation is concerned with the performance of a graded band gap solar cell based on (CIGS). The aim is to determine the influence of physical and geometrical parameters on performance. Results indicate that the increase in electric field resulting from the gradient of the band gap dismantles the effects of surface recombination. The results obtained are an efficiency of 26 % for Eg0=1.67 eV, Eg1=1.02 eV and a thickness of layer p and n d1=1µm, d2=2µm respectively.
