Simulation Study of Optical Reflection and Transmission Properties of the Anti-Reflection Coatings on the Silicon Solar Cells

Solar cells thin layers are increasingly used in the last decades the performance of these cells were clearly improved. In the present work, we simulated a silicon solar cell to analyse certain parameters. Particularly the antireflective properties of the layer (thickness, refractive index) play a crucial role in the performance of the cell, and to optimize them, we studied their effect on the quantities of photovoltaic solar cell. In order to highlight the importance of the testimony of an antireflection coating (SARC) on silicon solar cells a comparison between two cells, one without anti-reflective layer (bare silicon), the other with a layer antireflection was made. The deposition of an antireflection coating shows a significant improvement is in addition to the benefits of the change or not the latter. The reflection, transmission intensity and amplitude recorded by a simple matrix method are consistent with the literature.
