.Abstract
The performance of cadmium telluride (CdTe) thin-film solar cells is significantly impacted by optical and electrical inefficiencies, which limit their energy conversion capabilities. This study investigates an advanced method to enhance the efficiency of CdTe solar cells by incorporating embedded nano-grating structures optimized using particle swarm optimization (PSO). The PSO algorithm systematically fine-tunes the nano-grating parameters to maximize light absorption and carrier collection, thereby improving power conversion efficiency (PCE).Through extensive computational simulations, we identify the optimal nano-grating configuration that reduces optical losses and enhances charge transport
