Abstract

Efficiency improvement of solar cell has been achieved using design and simulation of anti-reflecting coating. Anti-Reflecting coating helps in deploying new geometries shape for the evaluation of different methods to provide for light trapping in all directions and enables full space utilization when bringing together into device arrays. Efficiency improvement strategies have been discussed using efficient selection of modules and surface texturing using TCAD tools. Significant improvement in yield and minimization of losses was achieved using device simulation and process simulation platform using silvaco tools. Multi-layer anti reflecting coating has been designed which can be studied to analyze the performance of system. It was observed that multi-layer coating helps in improvement of available current for similar light beam under simulation.
