Recently,
CIGS based solar cells have reached a high level of performances. An
efficiency record of 20.1% has been recorded on such solar cells
approaching that recorded on monocrystalline silicon solar cells. The
absorber layer (CIGS) used in the above mentioned structure was
processed using a modified co-evaporation of the elements method. Such
technique needs high vacuum and thus energy consumption. In this study,
we present our results concerned with the processing of CIGS based
solar cells using a cost effective non vacuum methods:
electrodeposition and CBD (chemical bath deposition). The thin films
obtained were similar to those prepared of using high vacuum methods.
However the efficiency recorded on our heterostructure was around 3%.
Our process is currently subject of intensive studies to improve the
solar cells efficiency. |
