Study of enhanced light scattering in microcrystalline silicon solar cells
Source abstract
Abstract
Effects of an enhanced haze parameter and the angular distribution function of scattered light are analyzed in a single-junction microcrystalline silicon solar cell by means of optical modeling. Hypothetical high haze parameters and different angular distribution functions are introduced to study the role of efficient light trapping. Improvements in external quantum efficiency and short-circuit current density of the solar cell are predicted. Potential thickness reductions of the absorber layer are calculated.
