Thin film-based solar cell semiconductor emerges as a promising candidate for solar photovoltaic future applications. A proposed heterojunction ZnTe/ZnSe/ZnO thin film-based solar cell has been simulated by using Solar Cell Capacitance Simulator-One Dimension (SCAPS-1D) in order to study the impact of temperature and defect layers on its efficiency parameters. The heterojunction thin film-based solar cell has been selected for simulation due to its low cost, availability, and reduced toxicity compared to other absorber layer materials. Numerical modeling has been used to comprehend device properties before fabrication. The results indicate that the efficiency parameters (Jsc, VOC, FF, and η) have been significantly affected by temperature and the presence of defect layers. The simulated J-V characteristics demonstrate how defect density affects solar cell efficiency parameters. In the defect system, the efficacy parameters have been reduced except for a slight increase in VOC at 300 K. The findings of this study are significant as they demonstrate the importance of understanding the impact of temperature and defect layers on the performance of thin film-based solar cells. The use of numerical modeling tools like SCAPS-1D can aid in the design and development of new solar cell technologies, which could ultimately lead to the widespread adoption of solar energy as a clean and sustainable energy source.

This study investigates the effect of using SnO2 as a window layer in a heterojunction Mo/ZnTe/ZnSe/SnO2 thin film-solar cell, which, when compared to other absorber layer materials, has the potential to be used in solar photovoltaic applications due to its low cost, non-toxic nature, and ease of availability. The research has aimed to compare the impact of SnO2 with ZnO, which has been previously used as a window layer. Numerical modeling using the Solar Cell Capacitance Simulator (SCAPS-1D) has been conducted to analyze the effect of temperature and defects in the thin-film layers on the overall performance of the solar cell. Efficiency parameters such as shortcircuit current density JSC, open-circuit voltage VOC, fill factor FF, and efficiency η, have been found to be influenced by temperature, and the effect of defects between the layers was analyzed. The optimal operating temperature for the solar cell with SnO2 as a window layer has been found to be 375 K, which has not required cooling to maintain cell efficiency, unlike the optimal operating temperature of 300 K for the solar cell with ZnO as a window layer. The simulation results have showed that using SnO2 as a window layer is advantageous due to the higher optimal operating temperature and the absence of the need for cooling to maintain cell efficiency. The study highlights the significance of quality control during fabrication in order to minimize defects and enhance the efficiency of the solar cell.
