Research ArticleOpen accessIn the author namesOptoelectronic Characterisation of Silicon and CIGS Photovoltaic Solar CellsRicardo A. Marques Lameirinhas, Afonso Ravasco, Catarina Pinho Correia Valério Bernardo, João Paulo N. TorresThroughout these years, many materials have been subjected to tests and experiments, creating several photovoltaic technologies and generations. In this article, some of these generations are compared, namely silicon and Copper Indium Gallium di-Selenide (CIGS), in order to characterize both materials in an optoelectronic way. Using a 2D solar cell PIN model using COMSOL software, both materials are tested, obtaining … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 17, Issue 1 · 30 Jan 2024 · 4,976 accessesView PDFCite
