In this paper, the performance of the basic (ZnMgO: Al/ZnMgO/CIGSSe) photovoltaic device has been improved by using the novel perovskite as a hole transport layer (HTL) material. At first, the CdS-free basic experimental photovoltaic device with an efficiency of 20% was simulated, and the photovoltaic results were confirmed by entering the experimental optoelectronics data into the AFORS-HET simulation tool. Further, they optimised the thickness and doping density of the basic photovoltaic device's Front , buffer, and absorber layers. After optimization, efficiency (η), VOC, FF and JSC have been enhanced, but external quantum efficiency (EQE) is still lesser than basic photovoltaic devices due to the absence of HTL material. Furthermore, a new structure is proposed using perovskite as an HTL material and is added between the CIGSSe/Mo back ohmic metal layers in the optimised photovoltaic device. Therefore, the proposed photovoltaic device absorbs the bulk of blue sunlight, instantly reducing the recombination losses and enhancing the efficiency (27.96%) and EQE.
