In this study the solar cell parameters depending on the electrical and physical properties of a semiconductor material were simulated and optimized with high accuracy and with a short simulation time. To obtain highly efficient solar cells in theory, later on for practical applications, Personal Computer One Dimensional (PC1D) software simulation program was used. The parameters were the thickness of emitter and absorber layers, type of absorber layer, doping profile, antireflective coating (ARC) materials and surface texturing. The results observed with the optimized parameters were compared and verified with the experimental results in the literature.
