Problems solved by technology

[0003] However, whether it is microcrystalline silicon material or amorphous silicon germanium (when the germanium content is 100%, it is amorphous germanium material), its minimum theoretical band gap is 1.1eV, so it cannot absorb photons with a wavelength greater than 1100nm in the solar spectrum , resulting in a certain loss of light, which limits the further improvement of the photoelectric conversion efficiency of the cell

Abstract

The invention relates to a full-spectral-domain laminated silicon-base film solar cell, which is made of three silicon-base film solar cells laminated and deposited on a substrate, wherein a first p-i-n cell is a wide band-gap silicon-base film cell, a second p-i-n cell is a medium band-gap silicon-base film cell and a third p-i-n cell is a narrow band-gap silicon-base film cell. Silicon-germanium alloy narrow band-gap material is used as an absorbing layer, the band gap is (0.66-1.1) eV and the thickness is (1000-3000) nm. The invention has the advantages that the structure is simple; and the silicon-germanium alloy is used for the narrow band-gap material, in combination with other silicon-base film alloy materials, the band gap among different absorbing layer materials is 2.0eV-0.66eV,so the optimum current matching of the laminated cell is realized, the full-spectral-domain response made by the silicon-base film cell to the solar spectrum of 300nm-1800nm is realized and the photoelectric conversion efficiency of the cell is improved.

Description

【Technical field】 [0001] The invention relates to the structural design of a silicon-based thin-film solar cell, in particular to a full-spectrum lamination silicon-based thin-film solar cell. 【technical background】 [0002] Silicon-based thin-film solar cells have the advantages of simple manufacturing process, convenient large-area continuous production, and saving raw materials, and have gradually moved towards industrialization. In order to expand the response range of the solar spectrum and improve the photoelectric conversion efficiency and stability of the battery, multi-junction stacked battery structures with intrinsic absorption layers with different band gaps are commonly used at present. The first layer, the second layer and the subsequent layers have decreasing band gaps. As the gap increases, the wavelengths of the solar spectrum absorbed by each layer continue to increase. The more common ones are amorphous silicon-microcrystalline silicon double junction sta...
