In physics, the radiative efficiency limit (also known as the detailed balance limit, Shockley–Queisser limit, Shockley Queisser Efficiency Limit or SQ Limit) is the maximum theoretical efficiency of a solar cell using a single p–n junction to collect power from the cell where the only loss mechanism is radiative recombination in the solar cell. It was first calculated by William Shockley and Hans-Joachim Queisser

Solar Cell Efficiency

Efficiency is defined as the ratio of energy output from the solar cell to input energy from the sun. In addition to reflecting the performance of the solar cell itself, the efficiency depends on the spectrum and intensity of the incident

Theoretical Calculation of the Efficiency Limit for Solar Cells

Concentrating solar radiation onto a solar cell improves remarkably its performance. Compa‐ rable effect could be obtained if the solar cell emission and acceptance angles were made equal. 2.
