ABSTRACT
The aim of this paper is to analyze the optical parameters of solar cell materials using the integrating sphere. The optical parameters including reflectance, transmittance, absorptance and emissivity are measured for the samples ZnO with 0.025 M concentration, ZnO with 0.05 M concentration, ZnO with 0.1 M concentration and Cu/Ti/SiO2 with 0.025 M concentration. The transmittance and reflectance of the samples are calculated with respect to the wavelengths to find whether the samples absorb light of the portion of the solar spectrum. These optical characteristics are measured by using integrating sphere and this work will lead to the analysis of quality of material used for coating the photovoltaic cell in order to increase the conversion efficiency of photovoltaic system.
