The power conversion efficiency of a solar cell is a parameter that quantifies the proportion of incident power converted into electricity. The Shockley-Queisser (SQ) model sets an upper limit on the conversion efficiency for a single-gap cell.
Utilizing the complete solar spectrum effectively to increase cell efficiency is known as spectrum utilization in solar cells. The goal of this technique is to match the semiconductor material's absorption characteristics with the diverse solar spectrum, which includes wavelengths from ultraviolet (UV) through infrared (IR).
Throughout the years, the evolution of solar cells has marked numerous significant milestones, reflecting an unwavering commitment to enhancing efficiency and affordability. It began in the early days with the introduction of crystalline silicon cells and progressed to thin-film technology.
5.1.3. Emission loss According to Kirchoff's law, materials that absorb light must also emit light, and this emission from the solar cell contributes to a decrease in conversion efficiency (Dupré et al., 2016). The loss of photons emitted by the cell due to radiative recombination is known as emission loss.
Furthermore, Multiple researchers have conducted reviews on diverse cooling technologies that enhance the performance of solar cells. For instance, a review paper by Ghadikolaei provides an overview of various cooling technologies and their impact on the performance of commercially available photovoltaic (PV) cells (Anon (2002)).
