In this paper, a detailed study and simulation modelling on light absorption using PDMS material in a single/multi-junction solar cells is carried out. Since PDMS material is a good absorber of light, it is used as an active layer of a solar cell. We choose PDMS because its properties, mainly exceptional intrinsic stability against thermal and ultraviolet light, induced good mechanical properties and stress over a wide range of temperatures. Good transmittance due to the absence of UV absorbers is one of its best characteristics. With the help of the transfer matrix method, which is used for optical modeling of an organic solar cell, inspired by the McGehee Group in Stanford University. The result and simulation is done using MATLAB and in the end we are going to draw a conclusion about the ideal materials that a good solar cell has to have to have good absorption.

W niniejszym artykule przeprowadzono szczegółowe badania i modelowanie symulacyjne absorpcji światła przy użyciu materiału PDMS w jedno-/wielozłączowych ogniwach słonecznych. Ponieważ materiał PDMS jest dobrym pochłaniaczem światła, jest używany jako aktywna warstwa ogniwa słonecznego. Wybieramy PDMS, ponieważ jego właściwości, głównie wyjątkowa stabilność wewnętrzna w stosunku do światła termicznego i ultrafioletowego, indukowały dobre właściwości mechaniczne i naprężenia w szerokim zakresie temperatur. Dobra przepuszczalność ze względu na brak absorberów UV jest jedną z jego najlepszych cech. Za pomocą metody przeniesienia macierzy, która służy do optycznego modelowania organicznego ogniwa słonecznego, inspirowanej przez Grupę McGehee na Uniwersytecie Stanforda. Wynik i symulację wykonano przy użyciu MATLAB, a na koniec wyciągniemy wniosek na temat idealnych materiałów, które dobre ogniwo słoneczne musi mieć dobrą absorpcję.
