Quantum Wells in Photovoltaic Cells

C Rohr, P Abbott, I M Ballard +4

The fundamental efficiency limit of a single bandgap solar cell is about 31% at one sun with a bandgap of about Eg = 1.35 eV (1), determined by the trade-off of maximising current…

Modelling Multi Quantum Well Solar Cell Efficiency

James P. Connolly, Jenny Nelson, Ian Ballard +5

The spectral response of quantum well solar cells (QWSCs) is well understood. We describe work on QWSC dark current theory which combined with SR theory yields a system efficiency.…

Simulating multiple quantum well solar cells

James P. Connolly, Jenny Nelson, Keith W. J. Barnham +5

The quantum well solar cell (QWSC) has been proposed as a route to higher efficiency than that attainable by homojunction devices. Previous studies have established that carriers e…

Efficiency limits of quantum well solar cells

J. P. Connolly, I. M. Ballard, K. W. J. Barnham +3

The quantum well solar cell (QWSC) has been proposed as a flexible means to ensuring current matching for tandem cells. This paper explores the further advantage afforded by the in…

Mirrored strain-balanced quantum well concentrator cells in the radiative limit

J. P. Connolly, M. F. Führer, D. C. Johnson +7

Strain-balanced Quantum Well Solar Cells (SB- QWSCs) are radiatively dominated at concentrator current levels. Incorporating back surface mirrors on the back of the doped substrate…
