Abstract

This study involved the design and simulation of a Si heterojunction solar cells (HJSCs) based on ZnO. HJSCs have a lot of potential for converting solar energy into electricity efficiently & affordably by utilizing the junction between two different semiconductors. With the help of computational modeling & structural engineering, we study ZnO and Si heterostructures in an effort to enhance device performance. The simulation framework incorporates key parameters such as material properties, device architecture, and operating conditions. By employing numerical methods, including drift-diffusion modeling and optical simulations, we investigate the charge transport, light absorption, and recombination processes within the heterojunction solar cell. Through systematic parameter variations, we explore the effects on the device efficiency and identify design approaches to enhance the power conversion efficiency. The simulation results come up with the precious insights enabling the development of efficient and reliable solar energy conversion technology.
