  • Calculation of solar cell quantum efficiency

A solar cell''s quantum efficiency value indicates the amount of current that the cell will produce when irradiated by photons of a particular wavelength. If the cell''s quantum efficiency is integrated over the whole solar electromagnetic spectrum, one can evaluate the amount of current that the cell will produce when exposed to sunlight. The ratio between this energy-production value and the highest possible energy-production value for the cell (i.e., if the QE were 100% over the whol…
