The impact of plasmonic confinement induced by the SiO2 nanosphere utilized as a photonic absorber in a solar cell is investigated in this paper. The modified Stober technique is utilized for irradiation experiments using the size and shape of colloidal silica nanoparticles at two dosages of 0.485mg/ml and 0.693mg/ml solutions. The agglomerated silica is placed as an absorbent layer on a solar cell, and the J-V characteristics are studied under solar irradiation. The enhancement in efficiency and Jsc is far greater than predicted induced in photon injection caused by silica nanoparticle coating under coverage limit.
