Abstract

The Solar cell efficiency is crucial, and optical losses can hinder it significantly. Anti-reflective coatings are effective in minimizing these losses. In our study, we used Fresnel equations to calculate reflectance values for single-layer SiO2, ZrO2, a SiO2-ZrO2 mixture, and a double-layer SiO2/ZrO2 configuration. We then assessed their impact on crystalline silicon solar cells using the SCAPS program. The reflectance values of single-layer SiO2, ZrO2 and 10%SiO2-90%ZrO2 mixture were calculated as 19.17%, 13.09% and 13.01%, respectively. Notably, the double-layer SiO2/ZrO2 coating showed a low reflectance of 7.58%, a significant improvement compared to uncoated silicon at 37.45%. Efficiency values for crystalline silicon solar cells were calculated for single layer as 18,95% (SiO2), 20.39% (ZrO2), 20,40% (mixed coating) respectively and 21.68% for the double-layer SiO2/ZrO2 configuration.
