We investigate one of the promising methods for increasing the output characteristics of solar cells - surface texturing. The structures and characteristics of microcrystalline silicon solar cells are simulated. Solar Cells with different surface geometries are compared. The first type is the classic flat structure. The last and the most effective is Solar Cell with the surface in the form of microscopic pyramids separated by flat regions.
