Analysis of two-terminal perovskite/silicon tandem solar cells with ...
The power conversion efficiency (PCE) of single-junction perovskite (PVSK) solar cells has now surpassed 20%, 1–8 thereby offering an excellent opportunity for further development of tandem solar cells (TSCs). In comparison with multi-junction TSCs, stacking more layers will increase the manufacturing costs and the loss of the …

1 INTRODUCTION. Crystalline silicon (c-Si) silicon heterojunction (SHJ) solar cells have achieved the highest single junction photoconversion efficiency, reaching 26.81%. 1 The excellent performance of SHJ devices results from the use of carrier selective passivating contacts based on (i) thin intrinsic hydrogenated amorphous silicon (a-Si:H), …
Effect of tunnel junction grown at different growth rates on the ...
Tunnel junctions are used in such high-performance multi-junction solar cells owing to their high transparency, low series resistance, and high peak current. However, the diffusion of impurities from a tunnel junction during epitaxial growth affects the photovoltaic and optoelectronic properties of multi-junction solar cells [ 3, 7 ].
Performance Analysis of Ultra-Thin Silicon Based Tunnel Junctions …
If tandem solar cells are used to attain high efficiencies under high irradiance, one critical aspect of their design is the use of tunnel junctions that interconnect the sub-cells . In this regard, the fundamental requirements for a tunnel junction in a tandem solar cell are (a) low optical absorption, (b) a high peak current, and (c) a low ...
Modeling of tunnel junctions for high efficiency solar cells
Ultrahigh efficiency, in the range of 40%, can be achieved in multijunction solar cells operating at high solar concentrations, larger than 100 suns. Critical to this approach are high band gap tunnel junctions that serve as electrically low loss interconnections between the cells.

In this work, to determine the tunneling effect on the performance of silicon heterojunction (SHJ) solar cells, we use AFORS-HET software to systematically study the carrier transport mechanism in different forward bias ranges under dark conditions. We confirm that the carrier transport in the p-type SHJ solar cell is determined by the …

A 2-terminal perovskite/silicon multijunction solar cell enabled by …
The addition of the tunnel junction on top of the single-junction n-type solar cell slightly reduces the short-circuit current (J SC), but the presence of the tunnel junction has a negligible effect on the series resistance (Figure S1) indicating proper operation of the tunnel juntion. 26 The slight reduction in J SC is due to parasitic …

An Improved Performance and High Efficiency DJ III–V Tandem Solar Cell …
The tandem DJ solar uses tunnel junction between the two solar cells to avoid the parasitic junction. As the tunnel junction thickness decreases (thin layers), the light ray can penetrate through the different layers and therefore cause an excitation of electrons and consequently the generation of the current. If the thickness exceeds 10 nm ...
