What is the best opto-electronics device simulator available so far especially for all kinds of solar cells?

We know that there are so many TCADs and numerical device simulators such as Silcaco ATLAS, Synopsys SENTAURUS, PC1D etc. available today. Can anyone help me to choose the one that will serve the complete solutions.

David Zhitomirsky

Sentaurus is quite good for full, multi-dimensional solutions for solar cells. You can even input FDTD data for optical generation.

If you are interested more in the electrical problem for a 1D stack I recommend getting SCAPS. It is more sophisticated than PC1D and it's free.
