Physical Limitations of Photovoltaic Conversion
Abstract
This chapter presents the factors that are included in the expression of the conversion efficiency of a solar cell. These factors are upper limited, and that is why the conversion efficiency could not exceed certain critical values. The chapter analyzes thermodynamic limitations, correction introduced by the atmosphere, Shockley-Quiesser limitations (based on the detailed energy balance), as well as additional limitations. Then it discusses ways to improve the conversion efficiency and future research directions.
