Investigating the Potential of Nanoplasmonics for Efficiency Enhancement of Wafer Based Crystalline Silicon Solar Cells

摘要: Nanoplasmonics has gained significant research interest for photovoltaic applications due to their ability construct optically thick but physically thin absorbers high efficiency solar cells including (10–50 μm), ultrathin (≤10 μm) crystalline silicon cells, and amorphous cells. In this paper, we investigate the potential of metal dielectric nanoparticles on enhancement wafer based having a physical thickness 180 μm. We explore whether use nanoplasmonics can boost even further state-of-the-art The effect important performance metrics like reflectance, light trapping, series resistance have been thoroughly studied probable It is seen that benefits offered by are limited absorbers. A simple analytical model proposed experiments carried out validate same.
