The paper presents a one-dimensional simulation study of chalcopyrite Cu(In,Ga)Se2(CIGS)solar cells,where the effects of the variation of CIGS,CdS,and ZnO layers are presented.Additionlly the influence of the variatio...
As an alternative to conventional encapsulation concepts for a double glass photovoltaic(PV)module,we introduce an innovative ionomer-based multi-layer encapsulant,by which the application of additional edge sealing t...
For high efficiency Cu(In,Ga)Se2(CIGS) solar cell, the high-resistivity layer with high optical transmittance has to be adopted between the buffer layer and the high-conductivity window layer. In this paper, we propos...
