Electrodeposited Chalcopyrite thin film solar cells: High efficiency Limits and Losses Evaluation

Cel

This project concerns New and Advanced Concepts in Renewable Technologies. It is relevant to FP6 objective Research Development and validation of thin -film PV technologies with higher efficiency cost ratio. The field of study is thin film solar cells manufactured by novel low cost methods. It adopts an interdisciplinary approach from two leading European scientific institutions. It is proposed to increase solar cell efficiency in the II-VI materials field by:
- Flexible and quantitative modelling optimisation from a knowledge based perspective based on characterisation on a nanometre scale. This will develop a quantitative understanding of light and dark currents taking materials issues specific to this system into account down to the grain size scale.
- Extrapolation of the knowledge to improved designs. These will primarily consist of changes to the band structure of the cell in order to maximise photocurrent, and minimise the trap dominated dark current by manipulating carrier density profiles in the depletion layers.
- Increase efficient use of light by using light trapping techniques. In turn these relax requirements on layer thickness required to absorb incident light, and consequently relax the requirements on minority carrier transport. This leads to solar cells more tolerant of imperfect material, of particular interest in polycrystalline material.
- Implement innovations in real thin film polycrystalline devices (chalcopyrite type) produced by low cost methods (electroplating) in which the host laboratory has a recognised experience.
