ABSTRACT = {In this study, the primary focus was on enhancing the performance of Photovoltaic devices 
by modifying the ETL and HTL transport layers. We conducted a comprehensive analysis 
of efficiency and fill factor variations resulting from adjustments in key device parameters, 
notably the active layer` thickness. The HTL layer employed materials such as CdTe 
(Cadmium telluride) and CISSe (Copper indium sulfur selenide), while the ETL layer 
utilized CdS (Cadmium sulfide), ZnO (Zinc oxide), SnOx (Stannous oxalte), SnO<sub>2</sub> (Tin 
oxide), and TiO<sub>2</sub> (Titanium dioxide). Additionally, Silicon (Si) was incorporated into our 
structure. Our highest efficiency recorded was 27.38%, marking a significant achievement 
for our proposed cell design. In summary, our simulation results underscore the promising 
performance of the CdTe/CISSe/Si/CdS/ZnO structure, yielding an efficiency of 27.38%, 
an open-circuit voltage (V<sub>oc</sub>) of 0.8136V, a short-circuit current density (J<sub>sc</sub>) of 41.17428 
mA/cm<sup>2</sup>
, and a fill factor (FF) of 79.36%. The discussions presented herein suggest that our 
proposed Photovoltaic (PV) Solar Cell holds great potential for adequate performance and 
improved power conversion efficiency, making it a compelling choice for solar energy 
applications. },
