Abstract

The photovoltaic cells are the best way to use solar energy by absorbing the photons radiation. The aim of this paper work is to simulate perovskite solar cell and finding the optimum thickness of the absorber layer. Here we run a simulation of perovskite solar cells on SCAPS-1D simulator software. The cell structure employs similarity with other inorganic solar cells such like CIGS, CdTe and Cu(In,Ga)Se2. The absorber layer is CH3NH3PbI3-xCl3 used here for its great attention as highly efficient absorber. A high open circuit voltage of 1.112 V achieved here and the efficiency is more than 22%. The effect of work function of front and back contact also has a great influence over the fill factor and on the efficiency. By varying the thickness of different layers optimum result has been achieved and demonstrates that in I-V characteristics and quantum efficiency (QE).
