Aim: Efficiency of Glass (protective layer) based solar cells and ZnO (protective layer) based solar cells was obtained by varying thickness (1000 nm to 6600 nm) of protective layer. Materials and Methods: Efficiency of Glass (protective layer) based solar cells (n = 57) was compared with ZnO (protective layer) based solar cells (n = 57) by varying thickness of protective layer ranging from 1000nm to 6600nm in the Nano hub Simulation environment. Results: ZnO (protective layer) based solar cell has significantly higher efficiency (21.17%) than Glass (protective layer) based solar cell (20.21%). Conclusion: Within the limits of this study, ZnO (protective layer) based solar cells offer better efficiency.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
