Journal ArticleDOI
Plasmonic absorption in textured silver back reflectors of thin film solar cells
TL;DR: In this paper, the influence of different textures and dielectric environments on the excitation of surface plasmon resonances on silver was studied, where textured metallic films often serve as back contacts of silicon thin film solar cells.
Journal ArticleDOI
Optimization of amorphous silicon thin film solar cells for flexible photovoltaics
TL;DR: In this paper, an amorphous silicon carbide n -layer (n-SiC) was introduced to avoid open-circuit voltage (Voc) and fill factor (FF) losses on textured substrates.
Journal ArticleDOI
Comparison and optimization of randomly textured surfaces in thin-film solar cells.

TL;DR: A simple criterion is derived that provides an explanation why certain textures operate more beneficially than others and a generic surface profile is proposed that outperforms the available substrates.
Journal ArticleDOI
Silicon Filaments in Silicon Oxide for Next-Generation Photovoltaics

TL;DR: The optical and electrical properties of these mixed-phase nanomaterials can be tuned independently, allowing for advanced light management in high efficiency thin-film silicon solar cells and for band-gap tuning via quantum confinement in third-generation photovoltaics.
Journal ArticleDOI
Development of micromorph tandem solar cells on flexible low cost plastic substrates
TL;DR: In this article, a fully flexible micro-crystalline and micromorph tandem solar cells were developed on low-cost substrates like polyethylen-terephtalate (PET) and poly-ethylen naphtalate (PEN), which achieved an efficiency of 10.9% with an open circuit voltage of 1.35V and a fill factor of 71.5%.
