  ABSTRACT: In copper oxide (CuO) based solar cells, various buffer layers such as CdS, In2S3, WS2 and IGZO have been investigated by solar cell capacitance simulator (SCAPS) in this work. By varying absorber and buffer layer thickness, photovoltaic parameters (open circuit voltage, fill factor, short-circuit current density and efficiency) are determined. The highest efficiency achieved is 19.6% with WS2 buffer layer. The impact of temperature on all CuO-based solar cells is also investigated.
