Solar cell absorption efficiency in COMSOL Multiphysics

[Qandeel]

Hi. I am studying the effect of plasmonic nanoparticles on solar cells. Is there a way to calculate absorption efficiency in different layers of tandem solar cells in COMSOL Multiphysics.

Unfortunately, COMSOL Multiphysics does not have a built-in tool specifically designed to calculate absorption efficiency in different layers of tandem solar cells. However, you can use the optical waveguide module to simulate the light beam propagation in the device and then use the results to estimate the absorption efficiency. To do this, you will need to set up the optical waveguide structure with the plasmonic nanoparticles and then run a simulation to calculate the transmitted power through each layer. You can then compare the transmitted power to the incident power to calculate the absorption efficiency.
