%X In copper oxide (CuO) based solar cells, various buffer layers such as CdS, In<sub>2</sub>S<sub>3</sub>, WS<sub>2</sub> and IGZO have been investigated by solar cell capacitance simulator (SCAPS) in this work. By varying absorber and buffer layer thickness, photovoltaic parameters (open circuit voltage, fill factor, short-circuit current density and efficiency) are determined. The highest efficiency achieved is 19.6% with WS<sub>2</sub> buffer layer. The impact of temperature on all CuO-based solar cells is also investigated.
