Abstract
The development of a new computer-modelling procedure for amorphous silicon solar cells based on iterative integration of the basic physical equations by means of a fourth-order Runge-Kutta procedure has been continued. It is now possible to model in near-real-time structures consisting of up to nine individual layers having individual constant or graded material-parameters. This paper illustrates the power of the model by comparative modelling of a few new solar cell structures of especially interesting composition. It is shown, that the model allows new insights not achievable by other means.
