The Shockley–Queisser Efficiency Limit of Solar Thermophotovoltaic (STPV) Cells Using Different Photovoltaic Cells and a Radiation Shield Considering the Étendue of Solar Radiation

A theoretical model is developed to determine the Shockley–Queisser efficiency limit of solar thermophotovoltaic (STPV) cells with single- or double-junction photovoltaic (PV) cells and a simple radiation shield considering the divergence nature of concentrated solar radiation. A combination of adap...
