Abstract
In this chapter, focus is on comparative study of dielectric layer based, textured based, and combination of the both light trapping structures on the solar cell performances. Also, implications and solutions have been discussed in context of next generation c-Si solar cells. Solar cell performance comparisons for different light trapping combinations shown in this chapter are based on simulated results. Material/semiconductor properties used in simulations for getting the cell electrical performance are based on most relevant c-Si solar cell device. Also, the anti-reflection properties of the considered device used in simulations are mostly based on actual measured values.
