Description
Summary:In this research, simulated solar cell based on cadmium telluride has been investigated to evaluate the effects of different several parameters such as thickness, temperature and illumination on the solar cell performance. The simulated results have revealed an increase in the efficiency with increasing the CdTe thickness. Also, efficiency depends significantly on temperature. Efficiency recorded 19.23% at 100 °C, where the efficiency decreases with increasing the temperature. Also, the efficiency depends on light intensity and light source; results showed that the variation in light intensity will affect the efficiency.
