| Abstract: |
| In this study, we used a computer method called Genetic Algorithm and given that the most common methods used to reduce surface reflectance and increase efficiency are single or multilayer nano-coatings and surface texture. By using the genetic algorithm approach, we optimized the anti-reflection nanoparticles of up to five layers of solar cells. The reflectance coefficient for one- two-and four-layer anti-reflection coatings was plotted as a function of wavelength and landing angle, and then we investigated the effect of nano-reflective coatings on the efficiency of the solar cell and nano-silicon image sensor. Nano-coatings reflect essentially, especially at the largest landing angles and the shortest lengths The waves diminished. The silicon image sensor acted just like a silicon solar cell, and by adding an extra layer, the corresponding wavelength range became wider. To achieve a wavelength threshold, more layers were needed. In the silicon image sensor, the transition from three layers to four layers reduced the mean reflectivity by 11.1%, while for silicon solar cells, the reflectivity decreased by 13.1% by adding the fifth layer to the solar cell's anti-reflection coating, In addition to the value mentioned above, the reflection decreased by a further 5.6%. |
