Popis: The photo current-voltage characteristic of a solar cell with graded band gap is calculated numerically based on the drift-diffusion equation and Poisson equation. The calculated efficiency of the CdTe solar cell with p-n junction located in 1μm depth increases remarkably when the band gap of the front n-type layer is graded. The effect is strong for high surface recombination velocity and is remarkable even at: the calculated efficiency increases from 19.6% to 24.3%.
