Back-contact solar
cells improve optical properties by moving all electrically conducting parts to
the back of the cell. The cell's structure allows silicon solar cells to
surpass the 25% efficiency barrier and interdigitated solar cells are now the
most efficient. In this work, the fabrication of a light efficient and
temperature resistant interdigitated back contact (IBC) solar cell is
investigated. This form of solar cell differs from conventional solar cell in
that the electrodes are located at the back of the cell, eliminating the need
for grids on the top, allowing the full surface area of the cell to receive
sunlight, resulting in increased efficiency. In this project, we will use
SILVACO TCAD, an optoelectronic device simulator, to construct a very thin
solar cell with dimensions of 100x250μm in 2D Luminous. The influence of
sunlight intensity and atmospheric temperature on solar cell output power is
highly essential and it has been explored in this work. The cell's optimum
performance with 150um bulk thickness provides 28.81% efficiency with 87.68%
fill factor rate making it ultra-thin, flexible and resilient providing diverse
operational capabilities.
