Advanced TCAD Simulation: Helps Optimize Solar Cell Efficiency

摘要

Regardless of the photovoltaic technology being pursued, the push to higher efficiencies has led to the use of new materials and structural concepts. Simulation enables the exploration and optimization of a wide range of variables. The search for renewable sources of electrical power, driven by the need to reduce CO_2 emissions, is rapidly spurring new research avenues in several promising technologies, among them photovoltaics (PV).
