The AGATHA project focuses on enhancing light trapping in thin film solar cells by developing advanced surface texturing techniques. This involves combining micro-texturing of glass and nano-texturing of transparent conductive oxide layers to improve solar energy absorption while reducing material thickness.
The minority carrier diffusion lengths are small in polycrystalline or amorphous materials used in thin film solar cells, requiring thin layers to maximize charge collection.
This is contradictory for the requirement to maximize solar energy absorption.
The optical design consisting in increasing solar cell’s light-trapping capability is of prime importance.
In order to provide total internal reflection, both randomly textured surfaces and regularly patterned surfaces have been investigated.
