“…A similar method is commonly used for reporting tandem design simulation using the SCAPS-1D [12,19]. The material properties in Table 1 are taken from the literature and are used to simulate the photovoltaic response of the considered single and tandem solar cell [33,[38][39][40][41][42][43][44][45], whereas the optical absorption coe cients of CZTS are taken from le [46] and other are from SCAPS-1D, are presented in Fig. 2.…”

Multijunction or tandem solar cells can split the solar spectrum over several subcells with different bandgaps to transform the sunlight into electricity more effectively than single-junction solar cells. The monolithic tandem design of third generation silicon solar energy materials is auspicious for photovoltaics.In this paper, the Simulation-based studies of copper zinc tin sul de/Silicon (CZTS/Si) tandem cells based on CZTS as an upper subcell and silicon as a lower subcell absorber layer have been performed using SCAPS-1D. This study aims to evaluate the CZTS tandem cells' performance based on the fact that both subcells are simulated to produce the best e ciency recorded at its bandgap. The Simulation and optimization of the single junction CZTS and Si solar cells were initially performed to t the state-of-art records e ciency of 11.65% and 18.7%, respectively. Further, both the upper and lower cell has evaluated at different thicknesses for tandem con guration after validation. Also, to obtain the current matching condition for tandem structure, the upper subcell's performance is investigated at different thickness ranges from 0.1 µm -1 µm while keeping the lower subcell thickness at 80µm. Thus, at optimized upper absorber thickness of 0.191 µm and lower subcell 80 µm at transmitted spectrum the current matching condition obtained and gave an e ciency of 10.6% and 11.9%, respectively. The maximum e ciency of ~ 23 is obtained for tandem design with enhancing open circuit voltage 1.4 V.

“…The demand for high-efficiency solar cells has been satisfied to a considerable extent by perovskite solar cells (PSCs). The efficiency of PSCs based on lead halide has been rapidly enhanced and the simulated variations in the heat along the vertical axis of the hybrid PSC-TE system [164]. In addition, recent studies have indicated that the introduction of a blend of bromide and iodide into the halide makeup of lead methylammonium perovskites enables the bandgap to be continuously adjusted, making it a desirable characteristic for solar cells with multiple junctions [165].…”

Semi-transparent perovskite solar cells have significant potential for their use in tandem solar cells with silicon (Si) or copper indium gallium selenide (CIGS) materials. Light management and optical design are important for developing a highly efficient solar cell. Herein, numerical simulation of a perovskite/silicon tandem solar cell was performed using a Matlab analytical program. The single-diode model for a solar cell is used for simulation with ideal working conditions. The tandem solar cell is comprised of two configurations which are the thin filmbased perovskite solar cell on top and a wafer-based silicon solar cell on the bottom, and the silicon sub-cell with silicon nitride (SiNx) anti-reflection coatings (ARC) in series-connected configuration. The material properties like energy bandgap, diffusion length, doping concentration are considered for calculating the device parameters. The bandgap and thickness of the perovskite material, refractive indices, photon flux, and wavelength of light are varied to calculate voltage, current, quantum efficiency, and other parameters of the tandem solar cell. The silicon sub-cell with silicon nitride (SiNx) anti-reflection coatings (ARC) in series-connected configuration decreased the reflectivity and increased the overall voltage and current of the tandem cell. The double-layer ARC films have increased the efficiency up to 1%. The efficiency of the two-terminal tandem device is found out to be over 32%. This work provides a pathway for further enhancing the power conversion efficiency of perovskite/Si tandem cells.
