Abstract

The hot carrier solar cell (HC-SC) thermodynamic model was introduced with a conversion efficiency (η) of 66 % at 1 Sun [1]. Würfel’s model yielded η = 85 % at full solar concentration and 53 % at 1 Sun [1]. Although understanding HC-SC physics and operation in detail from experimental data is vital, no dedicated HC-SC device has been processed. We show challenges and opportunities in developing technology-compatible HC-SCs as test devices from which more realistic results in both modelling and future experimental research on HC-SCs can be derived.
