Reciprocity and open circuit voltage in solar cells
Reciprocity and open circuit voltage in solar cells
The equation for open-circuit voltage of a solar cell based on optoelectronic reciprocity is combined with the standard textbook formula to obtain a general result which includes photon recycling as well as losses by carrier transport. It is shown that, in indirect-gap semiconductors, the general expression reduces to the “conventional” and “optoelectronic” expressions in the limits of low and high radiative efficiency.

Abstract
The equation for open-circuit voltage of a solar cell based on optoelectronic reciprocity is combined with the standard textbook formula to obtain a general result which includes photon recycling as well as losses by carrier transport. It is shown that, in indirect-gap semiconductors, the general expression reduces to the “conventional” and “optoelectronic” expressions in the limits of low and high radiative efficiency.
