A good back reflector can effectively increase the light reflection and prolong the light path within the solar cells so that much more light could be reutilized by the solar cells. This light-trapping scheme is usually used in thin film silicon solar cells [6–8]. However, diffuse reflectors used in CZTSSe solar cells have not yet been reported.
