Comparison of silicon oxide and silicon carbide absorber materials in silicon thin-film solar cells

Since solar energy conversion by photovoltaics is most efficient for photon energies at the bandgap of the absorbing material the idea of combining absorber layers with different bandgaps in a multijunction cell has become popular. In silicon thin-film photovoltaics a multijunction stack with more t...
