硅薄膜太阳电池抗反射微纳结构研究

Microstructured Design for Light Antireflection on Thin Film Silicon Solar Cells

摘要:

在硅薄膜太阳电池中,灵活的光学设计可以实现表层的零反射损耗,增大吸收层中光的透射率,从而提高薄膜太阳电池的光收集能力。在薄膜太阳电池吸收层表面设计了矩形介质光栅。利用严格耦合波理论和模态传输理论研究了光栅结构参数对反射率的影响。考虑到AM1.5 G太阳能光谱和a-Si的吸收光谱,光栅参数进一步优化。由于微加工的误差,使得矩形光栅变成梯形光栅,必然会影响硅薄膜太阳电池表面反射率。研究结果表明,长周期光栅同样可以实现低反射率,在工艺上也容易实现。采用梯形光栅可进一步降低表面反射率,并且在太阳光入射角为-40°~+40°的范围内保持在6%以下。
