Super-Multi-Junction Solar Cells—Device Configuration with the Potential for More Than 50% Annual Energy Conversion Efficiency (Non-Concentration)

Super-Multi-Junction Solar Cells—Device Configuration with the Potential for More Than 50% Annual Energy Conversion Efficiency (Non-Concentration)

The highest-efficiency solar cell in the efficiency race does not always give the best annual energy yield in real world solar conditions because the spectrum is always changing. The study of radiative coupling of concentrator solar cells implies that efficiency could increase by recycling the radia...
