ABSTRACT
The most common method of harnessing solar energy is photovoltaic. With
the revolution of new energy innovation in recent years, generation of
electricity based on photovoltaic has possessed great progress, however,
high cost is one of the primary issues encountered. In order to drive into a
better manufacturing technology, the effectiveness of the cells and modules
is opt for further cost reduction. The purpose of this research is to study the
parameter on crystalline silicon solar cell with double layer of MgFâ‚‚/SiOâ‚‚
as its anti-reflective coating (ARC) which is the thickness. An antireflection
coating mostly introduced in solar cell in order to reduce the reflection of
light from the front surface of the cell and to enhance broadband of light
absorption. Four Light trapping (LT) scheme with double layer of MgFâ‚‚/
SiOâ‚‚ and adjusted thickness on 100 µm thin crystalline silicon(c-Si) was
investigated. The optical properties within 300-1200 nm wavelength region
were analyzed and from absorption curve, maximum potential photocurrent
density (Jmax) for each LT schemes was calculated. With the addition of
ARC into the c-Si, the Jmax increased up to 32.13 mA/cm2 and achieved
28.89 % enhancement compared to the Jmax of the c-Si reference (without
ARC). Therefore, it is important to achieve optimum value in absorption
that literally showed the excellent optical property of MgFâ‚‚/SiOâ‚‚ bilayer
coatings.
