Optimizing front grid electrodes of flexible CIGS thin film solar cells
A CIGS thin film solar cell with p-n junction as the main structure can be equated to a diode circuit [37], [38] as shown in Fig. 2 (b). The CIGS thin film solar cell in actual working condition is not an ideal diode circuit, but there is a resistance loss, which is an important factor affecting the conversion efficiency of the solar cell.
