Study the efficiency of single crystal CdTe/ZnCdS solar cell at various temperatures and illumination levels
Open accessAbstract
CdTe is the best suited semiconductor for solar cells due to its band gap value 1.47 eV which is close to solar spectrum, low sublimation temperature and high absorption coefficient in the range of solar spectrum. To improve the photovoltaic performance of CdS/CdTe thin film solar cells, the CdS window layer is alloyed with different concentration of ZnS to reduce the resistivity and increase the band gap values. The single crystal CdTe based solar cell devices were prepared by vacuum evaporation method and have undergone for different temperature at various illumination levels to enhance the cell efficiency. We have achieved 14.37% efficiency and increased short circuit current density and open circuit voltage by reducing series resistance of the cell.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
