Abstract
Thin-film based solar cells are one of the leading contenders to solve the world's energy and environmental problems, by providing efficient, cost-effective, and pollution-free energy. The efficiency of thin-film solar cells can be improved with a tandem structure. This thesis has proposed and laid the groundwork for further development of a novel thin-film tandem solar cell structure, consisting of the combination of a thin-film CdTe solar cell, a tunnel junction, and a thin-film Ge solar cell. Based on the performance of single-cell devices, the efficiency of the tandem cell is predicted to be approximately 25%.
