This project aims to enhance solar cell efficiency by optimizing contact placement. Conventional designs with top-positioned contacts block light, reducing efficiency. The research explores moving contacts to the side or back to minimize shading and improve light absorption. Using COMSOL Multiphysics, three designs, conventional, side contact, and back contact are modeled and analyzed for parameters like open-circuit voltage, short-circuit current, and efficiency. Results indicate that side and back contact designs outperform conventional cells due to reduced shading and better light absorption. These findings suggest that optimized contact placement can significantly enhance solar cell performance, supporting more efficient solar power generation.
