Essay

Based on the optical constants of the materials, the optical losses due to reflection at the interfaces and absorption in the layers of TCO (transparent conductive oxide) and CdS have been found. The real parameters of the solar cell and the losses due to the recombination of charge carriers at the front and back surfaces of the absorbing layer and in the space charge region of p-n heterojunction have been determined. The possibility of reduction of all optical and recombination losses types, meaning not only scientific, but also economical aspects in large-scale production conditions have been estimated.
