Investigation of solar cell performance using multilayer thin film structure (SiO2/Si3N4) and grating

open access: yesResults in Physics, 2017
Thin film silicon solar cells are the better choice due to their low cost as compared to the crystalline solar cells. However, thin film silicon solar cells are suffering from a problem of weak absorption of incident light and hence, light trapping ...
