OPTIMIZATION OF AN ANTI-REFLECTIVE LAYER OF SOLAR PANELS BASED ON AB INITIO CALCULATIONS

摘要

The optical properties of textured surfaces of silicon solar cells are investigated by computer modeling. In calculations, the finite difference time-domain (FDTD) method is used to solve the Maxwell equations. Optimal sizes and shape of the textured surface are determined for which the reflection coefficient reaches its minimum. A comparison with the experimental data available from the literature is performed.
