This book offers a concise primer on energy conversion efficiency
and the Shockley-Queisser limit in single p-n junction solar cells.
It covers all the important fundamental physics necessary to
understand the conversion efficiency, which is indispensable in
studying, investigating, analyzing, and designing solar cells in
practice. As such it is valuable as a supplementary text for
courses on photovoltaics, and bridges the gap between advanced
topics in solar cell device engineering and the fundamental physics
covered in undergraduate courses. The book first introduces the
principles and features of solar cells compared to those of
chemical batteries, and reviews photons, statistics and radiation
as the physics of the source energy. Based on these foundations, it
clarifies the conversion efficiency of a single p-n junction solar
cell and discusses the Shockley-Queisser limit. Furthermore, it
looks into various concepts of solar cells for breaking through the
efficiency limit given in the single junction solar cell and
presents feasible theoretical predictions. To round out readers'
knowledge of p-n junctions, the final chapter also reviews the
essential semiconductor physics. The foundation of solar cell
physics and engineering provided here is a valuable resource for
readers with no background in solar cells, such as upper
undergraduate and master students. At the same time, the deep
insights provided allow readers to step seamlessly into other
advanced books and their own research topics.
