What features can a solar cell model simulate?

In addition, our model has the ability to accurately simulate more advanced solar cell design features including doping gradients, optical properties, back-surface fields, back-surface reflectors, windows, carrier traps, contact grid shading and complex light spectra.

Can Silvaco Atlas be used as a solar cell modeling tool?

Silvaco ATLAS as a solar cell modeling tool Abstract:This paper presents research efforts conducted at the Naval Postgraduate School in the development of an accurate, physically-based solar cell model using the general-purpose ATLAS device simulator by Silvaco International.

What is the difference between silicon solar cells and GaAs solar cells?

The GaAs solar cell has greater electron saturation velocity and higher electron mobility compared with silicon solar cells . This solar cell has achieved an accurate success of around 20–25% . Recently, the single solar cells performance made a significant growth, an efficiency of 27% was recorded for the GaAs single cells .

What is the best stable solar cell design?

The best stable solar cell design found was rough back reflector Ag plus optimally doped ZnO that produced an \ (\approx 0.7\) % improved quantum efficiency (i.e., \ (Q_e = 0.6031\)) with respect to the baseline quantum efficiency.

Can a GaAs junction be used to make solar cells more efficient?

Using GaAs junction only is not enough to get higher efficient solar cells. In fact, the improvement of its performance will surely be accomplished by adding other material layers on the top and bottom of the junction. For instance, a wider band gap material such as AlGaAs used as a back surface field (BSF) makes a significant improvement [4, 5].

How do we characterize a cluster of solar cells?

We characterize each cluster as follows: Lowest cost-intensive and lowest quantum efficient cluster The solar cell designs that are not-doped constitute this cluster. This cluster appears in the leftmost part of Fig. 2 (first three labels listed on the right panel).
