ĭifferent materials such as organic polymers, silicon, CIGS, and CdS/CdTe have been investigated numerically to improve the device performance to obtain high conversion efficiency. Solar cell technology is an inexhaustible, reliable, and commercialized technology that has been considered by the photovoltaic community to generate electric power through the photovoltaic effect. Different approaches, techniques, and methods have been investigated, demonstrated, and reported to improve the design and geometry of the device that can be used to generate electricity and can be utilized as a replacement to typical non-environmental friendly methods that have been used to generate power. Substitute to fossil fuel to generate energy through cleaner source is solar energy which is an endless and unlimited source for obtaining sunlight that can be transformed into another form of energy.

Moreover, a comparison of the current study with different kinds of structures has been made and surprisingly our novel geometry holds enhanced performance parameters that are featured with back reflector pairs (Si/SiO 2). The executed simulated photovoltaic parameters with the highest efficient structure are open circuit voltage = 1.409 (V), short circuit current density = 24.09 mA/cm 2, fill factor = 86.18%, and efficiency = 24.38%. The toxic perovskite material based on Lead iodide and lead bromide appears to be more efficient as compared to non-toxic perovskite material. The geometry of the proposed cells is simulated with three different kinds of perovskite materials including CH 3NH 3PbI 3, CH 3NH 3PbBr 3, and CH 3NH 3SnI 3. This paper reports numerical modeling of perovskite solar cell which has been knotted with Distributed Bragg Reflector pairs to extract high energy efficiency.
