Journal ArticleDOI
Fundamental losses in solar cells
TL;DR: In this paper, the intrinsic loss processes that lead to fundamental limits in solar cell efficiency are quantified, accounting for all incident solar radiation, and an analytical approach is taken to highlight physical mechanisms, obscured in previous numerical studies.
Journal ArticleDOI
Multi-junction III-V solar cells: current status and future potential
TL;DR: In this paper, a 3-junction InGaP/InGaAs/Ge concentrator solar cell with an efficiency of 37.4% (AM1.5G, 200-suns) has been fabricated.
Journal ArticleDOI
Competition between the charge transfer state and the singlet states of donor or acceptor limiting the efficiency in polymer:fullerene solar cells.

TL;DR: It is concluded that the open circuit voltage V(OC) is limited by the smaller bandgap of the two blend components, derived from the losses of the studied materials.
Journal ArticleDOI
Organic photovoltaic greenhouses: a unique application for semi-transparent PV?

TL;DR: In this article, the potential for spectral selectivity through the choice of OPV materials is evaluated for the case of a photovoltaic greenhouse, where the action spectrum of typical greenhouse crops is used to determine the impact on crop growth of blocking different spectral ranges from the crops.
Journal ArticleDOI
Dynamic coupled thermal-and-electrical modelling of sheet-and-tube hybrid photovoltaic/thermal (PVT) collectors
TL;DR: In this paper, a dynamic model of a hybrid photovoltaic/thermal (PVT) collector with a sheet-and-tube thermal absorber is presented to evaluate the annual generation of electrical energy along with the provision of domestic hot-water (DHW) from the thermal energy output, by using real climate data at high temporal resolution.
