Abstract
The scarcity of resources in developing countries makes the optimisation of thin-film solar cell efficiency particularly relevant to satellite communication links. The design procedure incorporates ant colony optimisation to handle uncertainty in the input data. The optimised design lowers energy consumption by approximately 14%. Further work is recommended to extend the analysis to a wider range of operating conditions.
