Abstract
Presents the results of a study of the photovoltaic effect of CuxS/CdS thin-film solar cells formed on chemically sprayed CdS films using a dipping method. The investigation centres on the study of the effects of the properties of the chemically sprayed CdS films on the photovoltaic response of the resulting cells. This includes the study of the parameters of film deposition, film thickness, grain-size and structure, spectral response and I-V characteristics. In general, good photovoltaic cells can be made using the chemically sprayed films. The photovoltaic response in the cells has been limited by the series resistance losses as well as grain-size effect which is responsible for the lowering of the shunting resistance observed in cells made on relatively thicker films. The cell performance is believed to be dependent on the copper content and the distribution within the cell.
