Up to 50% of the energy absorbed by a solar cell is lost as heat. Scientists are now developing a third generation of "hot carrier" solar cells that take advantage of this heat, potentially breaking the Shockley-Queisser limit of silicon-based PV.From pv magazine USA Better-performing solar cells are a key pathway to the acceleration of the active clean energy revolution. Most solar panels today are silicon-based and have a single junction. The upper theoretical limit of energy absorption efficiency for silicon solar cells, called the Shockley-Queisser limit, is about 33.7%. Currently, Fraunhofer ...Den vollständigen Artikel lesen ...
