To Enhance the Performance of Silicon Solar Cells: A Comprehensive Analysis of Effective Parameters Using PC1D Simulator

Abstract

The aim of this work was to investigate the effect of some important parameters on the performance of silicon solar cell. Simulation of solar cell was conducted using Personal Computer One Dimensional (PC1D) software. Electric parameters of solar cell such as short circuit current, open circuit voltage and maximum power were obtained from the PC1D for different values of bulk thickness, emitter doping concentration, and base resistivity. Further, fill factor and conversion efficiency of the silicon solar cell were obtained from the simulation results.
