As noted earlier, most research in recent years has focused on increasing light absorption in solar cells. Generally, a part of sunlight when hits the surface of the cell and enters it and becomes electricity energy, but the rest of the sunlight is reflected and wasted. For example, pure silicon reflectivity is about 30%.
Also, the shape, type, location, and number of nanoparticles are optimized, and up to the highest possible absorption coefficient is achieved. To enhance the solar cell’s efficiency, a new asymmetric piece is designed in this paper. According to this structure, a new and efficient solar cell is being proposed and developed.
The metal nanostructures control light concentration and trap at a submicrometric scale. This paper presents a metal–insulator-metal waveguide for improving solar cell absorption and efficiency. According to the obtained results, the proposed method achieved high absorption compared to the previous methods.
In the first step, we maximize the adsorption by a BPSOBCDA method to enhance the solar cells’ performance. Also, we design the absorption spectra using binary-coupled dipole approximation to achieve higher performance for the solar cells with this method. The key strength of the BCDA approach is the utilization of binary metaheuristic techniques.
