ShockleyQueisser

Codes + Data Files to compute Shockley-Queisser efficiency limits

You are now following this Submission

For single-junction solar cells, with inputs:
- real material (GaAs/Si) parameters
- internal/external radiative efficiencies
- plane-parallel, textured, and imperfect mirror geometries
- carrier multiplication
- concentration

Many of the above functions can be easily-extended with custom user functions that integrate seamlessly

Motivated (and used) for work in:
O. D. Miller, E. Yablonovitch, and S. R. Kurtz, "Strong Internal and External Luminescence as Solar Cells Approach the Shockley-Queisser Limit," IEEE Journal of Photovolt. 2, 303 (2012)
