Practical Enhancements in Current Density and Power Generation of Bifacial Semitransparent Ultrathin CIGSe Solar Cells via Utilization of Wide Bandgap Zn-Based Buffer.

ABSTRACT: Among many building-integrated semitransparent photovoltaics (BISTPVs), semitransparent ultrathin (STUT) Cu(In_x ,Ga_1-x )Se₂ (CIGSe) solar cells are distinguishable due to their potential high power conversion efficiency (PCE) among other thin-film solar cells, versatile applicability based on thin film deposition processes, high stability consisting of all inorganic compositions, and practical expandability to bifacial applications. However, the fundamental trade-off relationship between PCE and transparency limits the performance of BISTPV because implementing a higher semitransparency lowers the optical budget of incoming light. To expand the available optical budget and to enhance the PCE while maintaining a suitable transparency in STUT CIGSe solar cell
