To cope with energy requirements the utilization of renewable energies, particularly the Sun supplies the biggest and abundant energy source in Earth. Photo-voltaic and solar cell are the well advance and burning technology and a field of hot research. Majority of research centers and universities are working in this field. 1G, 2G, 3G and next generation of photo-voltaic cells have been developed and still to improve its efficiency and to decrease it 0.2 $/W cost. Our work mainly based on the theoretical and physical analysis of thin-film Photovoltaic devices. We will explore different software used for the analysis of PV cells, and will analyse different simulation related to solar cells like open circuit voltage VOC, Short circuit current JSC, Fill Factor FF (%) and external Quantum efficiency (%) for thin film solar cell including CIGS, CIS, CGS, CdTe, SnS/CdS/ZnO etc. To have different analysis for different combination and different replacement for materials used in the solar cell fabrication. To cope with the PV cost and environmental hazards we have to find alternate solutions. / Ullah, H. (2015). Simulation studies of photovoltaic thin film devices [Tesis doctoral no publicada].
