“…Many papers have been published in recent years that use gratings of various structures to improve the efficiency of thin-film solar cells [13]. In [14], the effects of grating geometry and their dimensions effects on the optical and electrical parameters and hence on the efficiency of thin film solar cells were reported.…”

In this work, the temperature effects on the PV’s electrical and optical parameters of different surface gratings are studied. A 3D simulation is introduced for studying the PV’s electrical parameters such as short circuit current, open circuit voltage and efficiency at different levels of temperature with and without surface’s gratings. We observed that the efficiency is increased for PV of surface grating by about 4.87% compared to the free grating surface’s PV. The efficiency of the PV efficiency is degraded as we increased the temperature above 300K. The solar cell efficiency of gratings free is aggressively degraded compared to the solar cell that includes gratings by about 4.89% at 360K. The electrical parameters such as the open circuit voltage and short circuit current are enhanced compared to the PV of surface grating free. Also, we observed that the triangle grating geometry of dimensions about 10×10 nm produced a higher efficiency compared to the other PV of other grating geometries of same dimensions.
