Analysis of the possibility of high-efficiency photovoltaic conversion in tandem heterojunction thin-layer solar cells

Abstract

The possibility of creating tandem heterojunction with intrinsic thin layer (HIT) solar cells pos sessing photovoltaic conversion efficiency greater than that of the best existing single junction HIT structures is analyzed. It is established that, because of small carrier lifetimes and high degrees of compensation, the use of amorphous silicon in tandem HIT cells cannot provide for record high conversion efficiency. Key param eters of the material for a widegap p-n junction on the frontal side of tandem solar cells are determined that will allow a photovoltaic conversion efficiency above 25% under AM1.5 conditions to be reached.

“…Laboratory samples achieve an efficiency of up to 26.7% [5][6][7][8][9]. The record results were the result of optimization and research of the structure of the HIT solar cell [10,11]. Optimization can be carried out in three directions: improving materials and production methods, optimizing the internal parameters of the solar cell (thickness, layer concentration) and changing the design [12].…”
