An Alternative strategy for enhancing solar cell performance with thin layered thickness is by incorporation of metalic-nanostructures. This strategy makes use of surface plasmon resonance (SPR) phenomena. In this work we perform a comparative study of experimental SPR detection with finite difference time domain (FDTD) simulation to detect plasmonic effects on silver grating incorporated into solar cells. The grating geometry used in the simulation was assumed to be a sinusodal periodic structure. It can be observed that the FDTD simulation is somewhat in comparable agreement with the experimental reflectance SPR detection as can be obsrved. The electric fields generated from the approximated grating geometry are up to six-folds of the incident light intensity.
