The fundamental problem of treating light incoherence in photovoltaics and its practical consequences

The incoherence of sunlight has long been suspected to have an impact on solar cell energy conversion efficiency, although the extent of this is unclear. Existing computational methods used to optimize solar cell efficiency under incoherent light are based on multiple time-consuming runs and statist...
