Abstract EN
Sunlight is the largest source of carbon-neutral energy.
Large amount of energy, about 4.3 × 1020 J/hr (Lewis, 2005), is radiated because of nuclear fusion reaction by sun, but it is unfortunate that it is not exploited to its maximum level.
Various photovoltaic researches are ongoing to find low cost, and highly efficient solar cell to fulfil looming energy crisis around the globe.
Thin film solar cell along with enhanced absorption property will be the best, so combination of SiGe alloy is considered.
The paper presented here consists of a numerical model of Si / Si 1 - x Ge x heterostructure solar cell.
The research has investigated characteristics such as short circuit current density ( J sc ), generation rate ( G ), absorption coefficient (α), and open circuit voltage ( V oc ) with optimal Ge concentration.
The addition of Ge content to Si layer will affect the property of material and can be calculated with the use of Vegard’s law.
Due to this, short circuit current density increases.
