I want to simulate and model a thin film solar cell, are there any open source softwares. I am a beginner who just entered this field.
Can anyone suggest me some references or softwares for doing this.
Yes you can.........
Are you using the windows version of Silvaco ? If yes, then you can find examples related to thin film solar cell in file menu (Silvaco 2017). The manual of Silvaco ATLAS is very helpful for understanding the codes. :)
There are several softwares for simulating thin film solar cell available in marktet. I use Lumerical. Here is an example of simple p-n junction solar cell in Lumerical. You can find several examples in Solar Cell section (You can find it in application section)
All the best for your future research.
