Abstract

In this study, device modelling of exhibits a numerical analysis of ultra-thin film Cu (In,Ga)Se2 (CIGS) solar cell which has been performed by using SCAPS-1D simulator. In this paper, the performance of CIGS solar cell is observed by varying the thickness of absorber layer, buffer layer and window layer. The purpose of this study is to optimize the thickness of CIGS solar cell in order to have the highest efficiency. Results show that solar cell performance have increased with rise in the thickness of CIGS absorber layer. The highest efficiency of the cell achieved, is 20.93 % with 0.765 V open circuit voltage (Voc), 34.00 mA/cm2 short circuit current density (Jsc) and 80.46% Fill Factor (FF) on 2000 nm CIGS absorber layer.
