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.
Power Conversion efficiency simulation. Optical simulation. Organic solar cells. This work presents the simulation of the power conversion efficiency of organic solar cells (OSCs), as well as the optimization of the thickness of active layer for better efficiency. The simulated OSCs uses P3HT: PCBM polymer as an active layer.
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.
The maximum possible room-temperature power conversion efficiency of a single junction, c – Si solar cell under 1–sun illumination, according to the laws of thermodynamics, is 32.33% 6. This limit is based on the assumptions of perfect solar absorption and no losses due to non-radiative charge-carrier recombination.
