Thickness Simulation and Analysis of CdS/CdTe Solar Cell to Increase the Efficiency and Decrease the Toxicant Material of Cadmium

Abstract

Population growth as well as the growth in energy demand is one of the most challenging problems in the world. Therefore, there is great need of green energy technologies and one of the green energy resources is solar cell that converts sun rays in a photovoltaic way into electrical energy. Firstly, we have presented a structure and after simulating this structure and reaching to approximately close results we expect any improvement in simulated model can be accessible in manufactured model. In this article, synchronous analysis of layer thickness for reaching to the maximum efficiency has been done. Our analysis performs to maximize the efficiency and minimize the thickness of layers with toxicant and expensive cd material. The results, shows increase of the efficiency and extreme decreasing in Cd layers thickness.
