Abstract

Now a day, copper indium gallium diselenide (CIGS) have earned special interest among thin film solar cells. The bandgap of CIGS can be varied by varying gallium composition to obtain required bandgap that meets the solar spectrum to absorb most of the photons. In present work, ITO/Mo/CIGS/CdS/ZnO/Al heterojunction thin film cell has been designed by computer simulation using AFROS-HET. The cell parameters like open circuit voltage (Voc), short circuit current (Isc), efficiency (η) and fillfactor is also evaluated under AM 1.5 radiation by keeping device temperature at 400K. The Electrical, Photoelectroluminescence characteristics and Quantum efficiency of the cell are also simulated.
