Pursuing a Master's in Electrical Engineering (By Research), my primary focus is on advancing solar photovoltaic (PV) energy production. Specifically, I'm exploring the potential of second-generation Cadmium Telluride (CdTe) thin-film solar cells. These cells, with efficiencies comparable to silicon but at a lower cost, hold promise for cost-effective renewable energy.My research investigates the effects of copper doping on the performance of thin-film solar cells, specifically focusing… Show more Pursuing a Master's in Electrical Engineering (By Research), my primary focus is on advancing solar photovoltaic (PV) energy production. Specifically, I'm exploring the potential of second-generation Cadmium Telluride (CdTe) thin-film solar cells. These cells, with efficiencies comparable to silicon but at a lower cost, hold promise for cost-effective renewable energy.My research investigates the effects of copper doping on the performance of thin-film solar cells, specifically focusing on Zinc Telluride (ZnTe) as a Back Surface Field (BSF). The aim is to optimize copper doping in ZnTe to enhance critical properties such as conductivity and carrier concentration, ultimately improving the efficiency of CdTe solar cells. This work contributes to the advancement of thin film solar cell technologies, offering a more efficient and economically viable approach to solar energy generation. Show less
