Because amorphous silicon is a noncrystalline and disordered silicon structure, the absorption rate of light is 40 times higher compared to the mono-Si solar cells [12].Therefore, amorphous silicon solar cells are more eminent as compared to CIS, CIGS, and CdTe solar cells because of higher efficiency. Such types of solar cells are categorized as thin-film Si solar cells, where …
