Özet:

 The Solar cell efficiency is crucial, and optical losses can hinder it significantly. Anti-reflective coatings are effective in minimizing these losses. In our study, we used Fresnel equations to calculate reflectance values for single-layer SiO2, ZrO2, a SiO2-ZrO2 mixture, and a double-layer SiO2ZrO2 configuration. We then assessed their impact on crystalline silicon solar cells using the SCAPS program. The reflectance values of single-layer SiO2, ZrO2 and 10SiO2-90ZrO2 mixture were calculated as 19.17, 13.09 and 13.01, respectively. Notably, the double-layer SiO2ZrO2 coating showed a low reflectance of 7.58, a significant improvement compared to uncoated silicon at 37.45. Efficiency values for crystalline silicon solar cells were calculated for single layer as 18,95 SiO2, 20.39 ZrO2, 20,40 mixed coating respectively and 21.68 for the double-layer SiO2ZrO2 configuration.
