First, we simulated an IBC-SHJ solar cell with rear a-Si:H(p) and a-Si:H(n) layers. Fig. 1a displays its schematic and the thickness of each layer is shown. The width of the a-Si:H(p) layer is much larger than that of the a-Si:H(n) layer to reduce the recombination of minority carriers. The detailed parameters

The superior spectrum grade makes the SS-X more suitable than other simulators for characterizing a wide variety of new solar cells, such as low-bandgap organic solar cells and perovskite/Si tandem solar cells. The SS-X can provide stable and continuous irradiance to illuminate the solar cells under test, which helps avoid characterization ...
You can model any number of solar cells connected in series using a single Solar Cell block by setting the parameter Number of series-connected cells per string to a value larger than 1. Internally the block still simulates only the equations for a single solar cell, but scales up the output voltage according to the number of cells.

These cells (commonly called solar cells) are manufactured in several different ways, however the most common method uses silicon that undergoes a chemical process to add electrons and increase its instability. The silicon mixture is allowed to form crystals from which the photovoltaic cells are made.
