AB  - The global energy demand is huge. Conventional fossil fuels such as oil, natural gas and coal arerunning out fast. These fossil fuels produce a huge amount of carbon dioxide, which is one of the greenhousegases identified as the main cause of the global warming of the planet. More and more alternative sources ofenergy are being used: renewable and environmentally friendly. Solar energy is one of them. The photovoltaicsector converts solar radiation into electricity. This is done using photovoltaic cells. The highest conversionyields are obtained from mono-crystalline silicon cells. mono-crystalline silicon becomes relatively expensive,the ternary and quaternary chalcopyrite semiconductors are a viable economic alternative. Thin filmschalcopyrite (CuInGaSe2) semiconductors have gained their place in solar energy harvesting. CIGS solar cellsare increasingly efficient every year. It has been shown that the ion implantation affects the structure bychanging or introducing defects. This in turn affects the electric properties of the material and may increase theefficiency of the solar cells. Thin films of Cu(InGa)Se2 deposited by low cost process were studied bysimulating the ion implantation using SRIM software. Different energies and different doses of implantationwere simulated in order to analyze the electrical properties of photovoltaic cells.
