Abstract:Theoretical expressions for the photocurrent in Heterojunction solar cells with Intrinsic Thin layer (HIT cells) are derived taking into account tunneling of electrons and holes through wide-bandgap layers of α-Si:H or α-SiC:H. The criteria, under which tunneling does not lead to the deterioration of solar cell characteristics, in particular, to the reduction of the short-circuit current and open-circuit voltage, are introduced. An algorithm to compute the photoconversion efficiency of HIT elements taking into… Show more
