摘要: The intrinsic limits on the energy conversion efficiency of silicon solar cells when used under concentrated sunlight are calculated. It is shown that Auger recombination processes even more important than nonconcentrated sunlight. However, light trapping can be far effective due to better defined direction incident light. As a result these effects, limiting lies in tile 36-37-percent range regardless concentration ratio compared value 29.8 percent for nonconcentrating cell with isotropic response.
