Thin-film solar cells can be manufactured in various colors, making them more visually appealing for certain applications, such as building facades or public spaces. One method for producing colored thin-film solar cells is to adjust the thickness of the transparent layers in the cell to manipulate optical interference. However, the color of the cell can affect its efficiency. In this study, we utilize electro-optical simulations to determine the cell efficiency of CIGS solar cell at various ITO and Zn(O,S) thicknesses, and evaluate the corresponding color with a dedicated open source software.

Abstract
Thin-film solar cells can be manufactured in various colors, making them more visually appealing for certain applications, such as building facades or public spaces. One method for producing colored thin-film solar cells is to adjust the thickness of the transparent layers in the cell to manipulate optical interference. However, the color of the cell can affect its efficiency. In this study, we utilize electro-optical simulations to determine the cell efficiency of CIGS solar cell at various ITO and Zn(O,S) thicknesses, and evaluate the corresponding color with a dedicated open source software.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
