Abstract
Performance analysis of thin-film solar modules has been done using the pyramid texturing technique. To change the geometry of the surface of the solar cell through surface texturing technique, it increases the effective area of thin-film module. Significant improvement has been found by inserting a random pyramid structure. TCAD and PvSyst software is used to design and development of surface texturing and temperature-dependent loss minimization. Efficiency improvement of 3% has been achieved using this noble approach.
