| Résumé : |
In this study, we employed 1D- Solis software to investigate both single and tandem solar cell designs including multilayers with the following III-V materials: GaN, InGaN, InP, and InN. These cells are arranged as n-i-p configurations and subjected to the standard AM1.5G spectrum illumination at 300°K. Through optimization strategies, we achieved significant enhancements in solar cell efficiency: 24.63%, for the single solar cell, 38.72% and 32.97% respectively for the first and second configurations of the tandem solar cell. The study revealed that variations in layer thicknesses displayed significant impacts on solar cell performance. Particularly, fine-tuning layer thicknesses of the primary absorber layer led to notable efficiency enhancements. Finally, our investigation resulted in efficiency enhancements of 26.23% for the single solar cell, 39.67% and 35.77 % respectively for the first and second configurations of the tandem solar cell. These findings underscore the importance of fine-tuning layer thicknesses to enhance the multilayer solar cell efficiency, providing valuable insights for future photovoltaic technology development. |
