Studies have shown that the methods to further increase the efficiency, such as performing structural change at the cell level. One of the methods is using Interdigitated-Back Contact (IBC) solar cell which has its contact located at the back surface to maximize the amount of sunlight absorbed at its front surface and in turn increase its efficiency. In this work, the efficiency of IBC solar cell will be further increased by using optical enhancement. Optical enhancement is a way to reduce the amount of light reflection while increasing the absorption of light into the solar cell by changing the surface texture of the solar cell. Planar, pyramidal, nanowire and hybrid surfaces are used in this work. The aim of this work is to find the surface texture that can generate the best efficiency. Quokka 2 is used to generate I-V curve and QE curve which are used for evaluating the efficiency results of these surfaces. This work proves that hybrid surface has the best efficiency at 24.5% and highest external quantum efficiency percentage among all surface texture tested fahmimoksen UTM 63 p.
