Abstract:
According to an embodiment of the present invention, a tandem solar cell comprises a CIGS solar cell mounted on a lower part; a DSSC solar cell mounted on the upper part of the CIGS solar cell; and an anti-reflection coating (ARC) layer mounted between the CIGS solar cell and the DSSC solar cell, wherein the CIGS solar cell and the DSSC solar cell are electrically connected to each other and stacked. The tandem solar cell according to the embodiment of the present invention can increase the light transmittance and obtain a photo current at low thickness by reducing a light scattering effect due to TiO2 light absorbing layer consisting of TiO2 particles which have less than and equal to 20 nm of a diameter, and the ARC layer.
