In this research, different tandem solar cells have been designed and simulated, in which the upper sub-cell is Sb2S3. Different structures including Sb2Se3, CISe, CZTSe and GeTe were proposed for the lower sub-cell.It is very important to match the current in the upper and lower sub-cells in consecutive cells. To reach the current matching point, the thickness of the layers of the lower sub-cell was kept constant and the thickness of the absorbing layer of the upper cell was changed so that the current density in both sub-cells was the same. At the current matching point, the performance of the upper cell under the AM1.5G standard spectrum radiation and the performance of the lower sub-cell under the filtered spectrum radiation were evaluated, and then the current-voltage characteristic curve of the tandem cell was obtained from the sum of the characteristic curves of the two sub-cells. The efficiency obtained for Sb2S3/Sb2Se3, Sb2S3/CIS, Sb2S3/CZTSe and Sb2S3/GeTe tandem cells was 22.10%, 30.95%, 24.83% and 36.80%, respectively. The greater the energy gap difference of the sub-cells, the more photons are collected and the greater current density is obtained for the cell. The best performance was obtained when GeTe was used as the bottom sub-cell.
