Abstract EN
A tandem solar cell consisting of a bottom c-Si high-efficiency subcell and a top low-cost Cu2O subcell in parallel configuration is evaluated for the first time by a use of an electrical model.
A numerical simulation based on the single-diode model of the solar cell is performed.
The numerical method determines both the model parameters and the parameters of the subcells and tandem from the maximization of output power.
The simulations indicate a theoretical limit value of the tandem power conversion efficiency of 31.23% at 298 K.
The influence of temperature on the maximum output power is analyzed.
This tandem configuration allows a great potential for the development of a new generation of low-cost high-efficiency solar cells.
