The document provided a general understanding of solar energy and how solar technology can be applied in practice to supply the lighting needs of the premise. The site analysis Tlemcen, weather data, is the design of the predicted value of the PV system. We present the analysis using the software PVSYST to optimize the system design for the premise. Simulation and calculation was made by taking into account the inclination and direction of a photovoltaic generator consider. The proposed photovoltaic system is mainly composed of 3 unit inverter, 3 batteries and 66 photovoltaic modules with nominal power 9.9kWc.
Copper–indium–gallium–diselenide Cu(In,Ga)Se2 (CIGS) is a semiconductor compound belonging to group I-III-VI, with a chalcopyrite crystal structure. CIGS is promising for the development of high-performance photovoltaic applications in terms of stability and conversion efficiency. It is one of the main candidates to rival the efficiency and stability of conventional crystalline silicon cells, due to its high light absorption coefficient, lower material cost, and high stability. The limitation of its use is that CIGS integrates indium (In) and gallium (Ga), which are rare and expensive materials. The amount of these materials in the CIGS cell can be reduced by optimizing the thickness of the absorber. We show that the introduction of a layer of highly doped silicon in the structure of the solar cell between the absorber layer and the back surface field layer effectively allows for decreasing the thickness of the absorber. Within the same objective, we focus on the danger of cadmium in the CdS buffer layer. In the first optimizations, we replaced the n-type CdS buffer layer with a n-type Zn(O,S) buffer layer. For this work, we used a one-dimensional simulation program, named Solar Cell Capacitance Simulator in one Dimension (SCAPS-1D), to investigate this new CIGS solar cell structure. After optimization, a maximum conversion efficiency of 24.43% was achieved with a 0.2 μm CIGS absorber layer and a 1 µm Si BSF layer.
