Abstract

We discuss optical modeling of aluminum back surface field (Al-BSF) and passivated emitter rear contact (PERC) solar cells extending into the infrared wavelength range. Total reflectance of pyramidical textured cells with and without encapsulation is simulated. This approach focusing on the encapsulated and bare cell reflectance serve as input for evaluating thermal management strategies for solar cells.
