• We fabricated a-Si:H translucent solar cells with various n/i- buffer layers.
• The double buffered cells were most effective for obtaining high efficiency.
• The efficiency of translucent cells was improved when backside mirror was installed.
• Thin double buffered cells show high efficiency improved by 21% in using mirror.
a-Si:H translucent solar cells with various n/i- buffer layers were fabricated. We employed single buffer and double buffers with different thickness in the fabrication of translucent cells. Compared to the cell without n/i- buffers, cell efficiency increases from 5.7% to 6.5% when double buffer layers were used. For further increase of cell efficiency for translucent cells, a backside mirror that reflects the transmitted light was installed and re-absorption of the reflected light was feasible. Interestingly, it was revealed that the thin double buffered cell was the most effective configuration, acquiring approximately 21% higher efficiency. Proper design of optical thickness and arrangement of buffer layers is required to effectively utilize incident and reflected light.
In order to achieve the re-absorption of reflected light in penetration type a-Si:H translucent cells, a backside mirror was installed. By optimizing configurations of n/i buffer layers, the efficiency was improved by 21%.Figure optionsDownload as PowerPoint slide
