abstract = {A simple method is developed to determine the light
trapping properties of arbitrarily textured solar cells with
high accuracy. The method allows for determining the quantum
efficiency and short circuit current density of thin film
solar cells prepared on randomly nanotextured surfaces. The
light trapping of the randomly textured solar cell is
described by the area weighted superposition of periodically
textured solar cells. The necessary input parameters for the
calculations are determined by analyzing the randomly
textured surfaces of the solar cells using atomic force
microscopy and image processing. The analysis of the atomic
force microscope images and the calculation of the quantum
efficiency and short circuit current can be determined from
current maps, without complex and time-consuming
calculations. The calculated solar cell parameters exhibit
excellent agreement with experimentally measured quantum
efficiencies and short circuit current densities for
amorphous and microcrystalline silicon thin film solar cells
prepared on randomly textured substrates. Finally, the work
contributes to a comparison of random and periodic light
trapping structures.},
