Abstract:
This treatise has focused on the resolution of thin film photovoltaic cells and solar
power efficiency. During schooling, elementary knowledge about various types of thin
film terminology and their device structure and working principle have been attained.
Despite remarkable progress in all perspectives of production of crystalline silicon
based PV cells, the cost of production and installment is still much higher. This can be
attenuated by the use of microstructure and tandem thin film PV cells and proper
installation methods and initiatives.
In fine, simulations of thin film tandem solar cell, tandem CIGS solar cell and
proposed tandem silicon solar cell with pyramids design have been done along with a
comparison of various output parameters; fill factor and energy conversion efficiency.
Ultimately, the dual-axis solar tracker has been made to meet the ever increasing
demand of high solar power efficiency by using FPGA and Verilog. This project will
unveil a whole new horizon due to use of FPGA.
