TL;DR: In this article, the authors identify the urgent need for theoretical calculations for multilayer graded bandgap tandem solar cells and provide one possible explanation for the observations on silicon solar cells.
Abstract: A high short-circuit current density of 69.1 mA cm−2 for silicon solar cells was first published over a decade ago. A few photovoltaic research groups dismissed that report indicating errors must have been made in measurement. Our work on both CdTe and CIGS based tandem solar cells has also shown similar high current densities and provides one possible explanation for the observations on silicon solar cells. This paper identifies the urgent need for theoretical calculations for multilayer graded bandgap tandem solar cells.
