Abstract
The temperature in solar cells is one of the main factors affecting their efficiency. Increasing the temperature in solar cells reduces efficiency. According to previously published and recently published studies by our team, with increasing temperature in 5-layer FTO/i-SnO2/CdS/CdTe/Cu2O solar cells, the efficiency has decreased by 8.86% per 100 K. In this research, phase change materials have been used to control the temperature in 5-layer solar cells. Our overall goal in this study is to control the temperature in FTO/i-SnO2/CdS/CdTe/Cu2O solar cells to increase their efficiency. The results obtained using simulations and numerical analysis and comparative analysis show that if one layer is used as a cooling arrangement in 5-layer FTO/i-SnO2/CdS/CdTe/Cu2O solar cells, it reduces the surface temperature of solar cells and increases efficiency.
