Abstract

Silicon solar cells are the basis of the photovoltaic industry; thus, understanding their performance limits and parameter optimization under various working conditions is important. Here, we present a protocol for simulating mono-facial and bifacial silicon solar cells as well as 2-terminal double-junction X-on-silicon solar cells. We describe steps for resource gathering, input data preparation, running simulation scripts, and results visualizations. This protocol can be extended to simulate 3- and 4-terminal solar cells and more than two junctions. For complete details on the use and execution of this protocol, please refer to H. Ziar.1
