Abstract	The quaternary compound Cu2ZnSnS4 (CZTS) is considered as an alternative material to replace CIGS material in future manufacturing of thin film solar cells. In this paper, a comparative study of temperature effect on thin film CZTS (Cu2ZnSnS4) and CIGS (Cu(In, Ga)Se2) solar cells was leaded. For this purpose we used the one dimensional simulation program tool SCAPS-1D (Solar Cell Capacitance Simulator in one Dimension. The dependence of the CZTS and CIGS solar cells characteristics with temperature was investigated from 300°K to 360°K. The comparative results showed that the cell with CZTS had an improved behavior at high operation temperatures. The maximum power coefficients, depending on temperature variations, were respectively – 1.8 mW/cm2 °K and – 7.84 mW/cm2 °K.
