The Shockley–Queisser limit for the efficiency of a solar cell, without concentration of solar radiation. The curve is wiggly because of absorption bands in the atmosphere. In the original paper, [1] the solar spectrum was approximated by a smooth curve, the 6000K blackbody spectrum. As a result, the efficiency graph was smooth and the values ...
The Shockley-Queisser limit for the efficiency of a single-junction solar cell under unconcentrated sunlight. This calculated curve uses actual solar spectrum data, and therefore the curve is wiggly from IR absorption bands in the atmosphere. This efficiency limit of about 34% can be exceeded by multijunction solar cells.
The Shockley–Queisser limit for the efficiency of a single-junction solar cell under unconcentrated sunlight at 273 K. This calculated curve uses actual solar spectrum data, and therefore the curve is wiggly from IR absorption bands in the atmosphere. This efficiency limit of ~34% can be exceeded by multijunction solar cells.
The numbers are normally not similar as you suggest. But in any case, f c cannot be more than 1, and the upper limit (the Shockley-Queisser limit) requires taking f c = 1. Eric Kvaalen 19:05, 6 September 2016 (UTC) Yes, virtually all above-gap photons come from recombination, but not all recombinations create above-bandgap photons.
The Shockley–Queisser limit radiative efficiency limit, also known as the detailed balance limit, [105] [106] is about 31% under an AM1.5G solar spectrum at 1000 W/m 2, for a Perovskite bandgap of 1.55 eV. [107] This is slightly smaller than the radiative limit of gallium arsenide of bandgap 1.42 eV which can reach a radiative efficiency of 33%.
English: The Shockley-Queisser limit for the maximum possible efficiency of a solar cell. The x-axis is the bandgap of the solar cell, the y-axis is the highest possible efficiency (ratio of electrical power output to light power input). (Assumes a single-junction solar cell under unconcentrated light, and some other assumptions too.)
They assumed no carriers were collected at the IB and that the device was under full concentration. [1] They found the maximum efficiency to be 63.2%, for a bandgap of 1.95eV with the IB 0.71eV from either the valence or conduction band. [1] Under one sun illumination the limiting efficiency is 47%. [2]
The band gap (1.34 eV) of an ideal single-junction cell is close to that of silicon (1.1 eV), one of the many reasons that silicon dominates the market. However, silicon's efficiency is limited to about 30% (Shockley–Queisser limit). It is possible to improve on a single-junction cell by vertically stacking cells with different bandgaps ...
