Including light management concepts in performance prediction modelling of perovskite-silicon tandem solar cells by implementing transfer matrix method — Aminreza Mohandes1,2, Peymaneh Rafieipour1,2, Mohammad Moaddeli1, and •Mansour Kanani1 — 1Department of Materials Science and Engineering, School of Engineering, Shiraz University, Shiraz, Iran — 2Department of Physics, Shiraz University, Shiraz, Iran
The 2-T monolithic perovskite-silicon tandem design holds a record efficiency of 29.80%, recently. To perform more accurate, complete and experimentally reliable modelling of tandem solar cell, we adopt the transfer matrix method (TMM) which incorporates the interfacial reflections, light scattering and parasitic absorption losses in the calculation of the light transmitted from the top perovskite solar cell. The results reveal that the light scattering and interfacial reflection losses cannot be ignored and the previously used Beer-Lambert exponential relation is insufficient for studying tandem configuration. Including TMM method in the performance optimization of the tandem solar cells lets to consider light management concepts more extensively. Therefore, identifying and reducing optical losses in each layer/interface and designing appropriate anti-reflection coatings in a multilayer tandem simulation can be achieved. In this study, standalone and tandem devices have been analyzed and the effect of absorber layer thickness variation, J-V curves, external quantum efficiency (EQE), filtered spectra, current matching, and tandem performance parameters on the cell efficiency is considered.
