The starting point for obtaining the most efficient photovoltaic cell is the analysis of the thermodynamic curve of the efficiency limit as a function of the energy
Customer ServiceEfficiency is the comparison of energy output to energy input of a given system. For solar photovoltaic (PV) cells, this means the ratio of useful electrical energy they produce to the amount of solar energy incident on the cell under standardized testing conditions. Although some experimental solar cells have achieved efficiencies of close to 50%, most commercial cells are
Customer ServiceIt is worth noting that while the bottom sub-cell band gap giving the global maximum in efficiency changes as the number of sub-cells increases, a substrate with a band gap in the 0.7–0.8 eV will always deliver a respectable performance with the maximum efficiency possible being at most a few absolute percent away from the global maximum (assuming the

Customer ServiceThe ideal photovoltaic material has a band gap in the range 1–1.8 eV. Once what to look for has been estab-lished (a suitable band gap in this case), the next step is to determine where to look for it. Starting from a blank canvas of the periodic table goes beyond the limitations of present human and computational processing power.
The band gap represents the minimum energy required to excite an electron in a semiconductor to a higher energy state. Only photons with energy greater than or equal to a material's band gap can be absorbed. A solar cell delivers power, the product of current and voltage.
The efficiency was found for each combination of band gaps by first finding the open circuit voltage of each sub-cell and setting this as the upper limit for the chemical potential during subsequent calculations.
Wide band gap semiconductors are important for the development of tandem photovoltaics. By introducing buffer layers at the front and rear side of solar cells based on selenium; Todorov et al., reduce interface recombination losses to achieve photoconversion efficiencies of 6.5%.
Crucially, as efforts to realize multi-junction solar cells with increasing numbers of sub-cells receives ever greater attention, these results indicate that the choice of lowest band gap and therefore the active substrate for a MJ solar cell is nowhere near as restrictive as may first be thought.
The maximum power is updated for any increase with each increment of chemical potential allowing the maximum power output for a single band gap combination to be found. Finally, due to the non-continuous nature of the AM1.5 spectra, cycling through the band gap combinations was undertaken rather than using an optimizer. 3. Results and discussion
