Radiative cooling of solar cells (2014, background): “Without loss of generality, we consider crystalline silicon solar cells, representing about 90% [28] of solar cells produced worldwide in 2008.”
Radiative cooling of solar absorbers using a visibly transparent photonic crystal thermal blackbody (2015, background): “Thus, for a crystalline silicon solar cell with efficiency around 20 % (33), the 13 °C temperature reduction demonstrated here would translate to an absolute efficiency improvement of over one percentage point, which would be a very substantial improvement for solar cell efficiency.”
Drivers of cost reduction in solar photovoltaics (2015, background): “See Saga (2010) for a discussion on manufacturing process requirements for solar cells of different efficiencies and the implication for production costs.”
Graphene Schottky diodes: an experimental review of the rectifying graphene/semiconductor heterojunction (2015, background): “Compared to p-n cells with efficiencies ranging from 12-15% for polycrystalline Si to 15-20 % for monocrystalline Si (pushed up to 25% in laboratory cells), Schottky cells have lower conversion efficiency due to the limited oc V , with typical values around 12-16% [59]-[62].”
Radiative cooling for solar cells (2015, background): “Without loss of generality, we consider crystalline silicon solar cells, representing about 90% [28] of solar cells produced worldwide in 2008.”
Solar Cells: In Research and Applications—A Review (2015, background): “They are believed to occupy most up to 48% of the solar cell production worldwide during 2008 [19].”
