In this work, a new structure for solar cells is proposed which can improve their efficiency greatly. In comparison to the original solar cells, the proposed structure makes use of a ZnO layer (called layer buffer). While the original structure has the maximum efficiency of 20.25%, the new structure could achieve the efficiency of 73%.
Keywords: : CdTe, Thin film, Solar cells, ZnO, Efficiency.
