Silicon nanowires (SiNWs) solar cells are becoming an important axis of scientific research especially in the field of new technologies for photovoltaic energy. In this paper, static characteristics (I-V, P-V) and different electrical parameters (ISC, VOC, Imax, Vmax, Pmax and FF) of the SiNWs solar nanocell are studied according to the number of nanowires (n) at room temperature and under global (AM1.5G) illumination spectra using 2D-Atlas SILVACO software. The simulation results show that the silicon nanowires (SiNWs) solar nanocell is characterized by good electrical characteristics and high performance. Increasing the number of nanowires is a good technique for improving the behavior and electrical performance of the SiNWs solar cells.
