The utilization of conventional fossil fuel-based energy for power generation is associated with various issues, such as greenhouse gas emissions, rising costs, and scarcity of resources. Renewable energy sources offer a solution to these problems. Although solar photovoltaic technologies have been leading the way in this area, the output of solar cells is constrained by optical losses. Surface texturing reduces reflectance, increasing the absorbance of solar cells. Therefore, it is necessary to obtain proper values of texturing parameters before fabricating the solar cell. Software simulation tools can help to do this. In the present work, the PC1D 5.0 tool is used to obtain an optimum texture thickness and angle for a solar cell of a 100 cm2 cross-sectional area. For the texture angle of 65°, the optimum texture was found to be 4 µm.
