“…(15), corresponding optical loss (gains) could be analyzed in the same way as the case in the flat HIT solar cells. It should also be noted that the top angle of pyramid-shaped texture is confirmed to be 80°[ 42,43] and the calculated refractive index of ITO, p-a-Si:H, i-a-Si:H and c-Si are 1.93, 3.58, 3.65 and 3.54, which results in transmission angles of Air/ITO, ITO/p-a-Si:H and p-a-Si:H/i-a-Si:H, i-a-Si:H/c-Si of 24°, 13°, 13° and 13°, respectively. Consequently, in the calculation process of textured solar cell, a normal incidence of light is assumed because the transmission angles are close to the normal to the {111} texture-facet plane [6] .…”
