    PHOTOELECTRICAL PARAMETERS OF nCdS–pCdTe THIN-FILM SOLAR CELLS WITH A CdO BUFFER LAYER
    (2016) Gașin, Petru; Gargara, Ludmila; Chetruș, Petru; Inculeț, Ion; Fiodorov, Vladimir; Qassem, Amjad-Al
    The results of the studies of the effect of a CdO buffer layer on the photoelectrical parameters of CdS–CdTe solar cells have been described. It has been found that the formation of a 5–8 nm thick CdO buffer layer leads to an increase in the CdS–CdTe solar cell open circuit voltage (Voc) by 90–140 mV, short circuit current (Isc) by 1.4–3.2 mA/cm2, and efficiency by 2.8–4.1% at 300 K and an illumination of 100 mW/cm2.

    THIN LAYER PHOTOVOLTAIC MODULES BASED ON CdS-CdTe HETEROJUNCTIONS
    (2011) Fiodorov, Vladimir; Gașin, Petru; Gagara, Ludmila; Chetruș, Petru
    A technology of thin layer photovoltaic modules with dimensions of 65 x 80 mm2 based on CdS-CdTe heterojunctions prepared via the quasi-closed volume technique was developed. The modules were made on a single glass plate; each element was positioned along the given plate so that the resulting module contains nine solar cells with an area of 3 cm2. The design of the module made it possible to study the energy parameters of each solar cell as well as the entire module. The study of the photovoltaic module based on CdS-CdTe heterojunctions showed the following parameters: short circuit current Isc = 270 mA; open circuit voltage Ucd = 0.786 V; FF =0.46, power discharged in the load Pmax ≈ 100 mW, and efficiency η ≈ 8.2% at the radiation power of 53 mW/cm2.
