Copper indium gallium diselenide (CuIn1-xGaxSe2 or CIGSe) solar cells has been considered to be one of the most promising thin-film solar cells and is important for terrestrial applications because of their high efficiency, long-term stable performance and potential for low-cost production. In this work, the CIGS heterojunction solar cell has been numerically simulated using SCAPS-1D tool. We study the influence of a buffer layer on the performance of the CIGSe solar cells.
