Modelling and performance analysis of a transparent multilayer solar cell

Abstract

Transparent solar cells have emerged as a promising
frontier in renewable energy research, offering the dual
functionality of generating electricity while maintaining
transparency. Five layers of InAs/InSb/AlGaAs/GaN/Si are
incorporated into the proposed model structure which takes the
properties of the source materials into consideration. Simulations
of electromagnetic waves are used to evaluate optical and electrical
properties. The cell is assumed to function at room temperature in
the simulated settings. The I-V curve's fill factor (F.F.) of 0.6531
corresponds to a maximum conversion efficiency of 15.2655%,
according to the data. Furthermore, at 530 nm, this combination
and device configuration show a very good transparency of up to
60%.
