摘要：

In this paper, the high efficiency Cu(In,Ga)Se-2 (CIGS)-based solar cells solar cells was analyzed and designed by SCAPS-1D software. This paper deals with the influence of a buffer layer on the performance of the CIGS-based solar cells. The photovoltaic parameters have been calculated in different buffer layer materials (CdS, ZnS, ZnSe), we give great alternative for Cadmium sulphide (CdS). Starting with a good structure, we simulated the J-V characteristics and showed how the absorber and buffer layers thickness, defect density influence the short-circuit current density (J(sc)), open-circuit voltage (V-infinity), fill factor (FF), and efficiency (eta) of solar cell. The optimized solar cell shows an efficiency of >22% under the AM1.5G spectrum and one sun. (C) 2015 The Authors. Published by Elsevier Ltd.
