Abstract
In this paper, Cu(In,Ga)Se2 (CIGS) with the high efficiency based thin film solar cells has been simulated by SCAPS-1D software. CIGS being promising material for large scale photovoltaic application. We have optimized on the implementation of the Mo/CIGS/ZnSe/SnO2 thin film solar cells. In this structure, window layer (SnO2) band gap effect on solar cell parameters short-circuit current density (Jsc), opencircuit voltage (Voc), fill factor (FF), and efficiency of CIGS solar cell have been used for better performance. The simulation results of structure, enhanced efficiency of 13.85% was observed, while Jsc, Voc, and FF are 21.08 mA/cm2, 0.8242 V, and 79.70%, respectively.
