Original abstract
Gallium Arsenide (GaAs) single-junction solar cells lead in advanced photovoltaic research due to its high absorption coefficients, favourable high bandgap, and strong potential for high conversion efficiency. This paper presents numerical simulation and performance optimization of an AlGaAs window layer-based heterojunction solar cell incorporated with Al0.41Ga0.59As front passivation layer, n+- GaAs carrier injection layer, a p-GaAs absorber layer, a p-Al0.41Ga0.59As Back Surface Field (BSF) layer, and a p+-GaAs interface layer. The aluminum composition of 41% is selected in order to achieve optimal band alignment and reduced recombination losses. The wide-bandgap AlGaAs layers are used at the front and rear interfaces in order to enhance carrier collection, zero-bias current density, and no-load voltage. The n++/p polarity exhibits higher electron mobility, results in a simulated zero-bias current density of 31.36mA/cm2,1.31V of no-load voltage, and a output power quality factor of 83.31%. The optimized device achieves a peak photovoltaic conversion efficiency of 34.38% under 1.5G illumination.
