Light concentration effects on the performance of the p-i-n quantum dot solar cells: A simulation study
J–V characteristics and efficiency as a function of active region thickness of the p-i-n intermediate band solar cells have been calculated. We compared the maximum efficiency point of three different cells made of well-known materials. Each cell includes a different size of quantum dot in the i-reg...

| description | J–V characteristics and efficiency as a function of active region thickness of the p-i-n intermediate band solar cells have been calculated. We compared the maximum efficiency point of three different cells made of well-known materials. Each cell includes a different size of quantum dot in the i-region that causes different intermediate band position. Numerical optimizations have been done by adjusting parameters such as the combination of band gap, mismatch as well as the specific structure of the cell. In addition, it is illustrated that the maximum efficiency point increases with increasing the incident light concentration in the radiative limit. This article considered that using light concentrators can be useful to enhance the efficiency of the solar cell with respect to manufacturing and cost improvements. |
