Investigating the Impact of Texture Angle and Depth on Optimum Doping Concentration in PC1D Simulations

The conventional fossil fuel contributes to several issues, such as harmful pollutants like carbon dioxide (CO ₂ ), climate change, depletion of resources and increasing costs. To address these issues, renewable energy sources provide a viable solution. Among them, photovoltaic technology is the sustainable and environmentally friendly option, with crystalline silicon solar cells being the most commercially available in market. In this paper, the PC1D mod 6.1 software program is used to simulate the performance of crystalline silicon solar cells, numerically investigating their impact on the conversion efficiency. At an optimized doping concentration, we achieved the highest efficiency of 22.02%. To further enhance the efficiency, the texture angle was varied from 30° to 70°, and the texture depth was adjusted from 2 µm to 10 µm. The simulation results show a short circuit current (I _SC ) of 3.94875A, an open circuit voltage (V _OC ) of 0.686142V, fill factor of 0.842297. After stimulating the effects of texture depth and angle on the crystalline silicon solar cell, it is obtained under the AM1.5 spectrum, the maximum efficiency obtained was 22.45%.
