Device simulation is effective for improvements of solar cell performances in terms of costs and time and visualization of physics of the device, but it needs proper physical models and parameters.
In this study, we compared Sentaurus TCAD and PC1D, used widely in PV market, and established high-precision solar cell modeling. Using this modeling we evaluated and improved PERC solar cell, which is one of next generation solar cells.
