AB - <p style="text-align: justify;">In this paper, we propose several solar cell
designs based on metamaterials. Extensive numerical simulations of various
designs with different materials are carried out.
Our tests show that metamaterial solar cells are quite efficient, and
over 80% and 90% absorption rates can be attained for solar spectrum and
visible rays, respectively.</p>
