Third generation photovoltaics: Ultra‐high conversion efficiency at …
Any mature solar cell technology seems likely to evolve to the stage where costs are dominated by those of the constituent materials, be they silicon wafers or glass sheet. It is argued, therefore, that photovoltaics is likely to evolve, in its most mature form, to a ''third generation'' of high-efficiency thin-film technology.
Multiple energy threshold approaches are required to tackle the lost energy and thus to achieve the higher efficiency potential of third-generation PV goals. The concept of using multiple energy levels to absorb different sections of the solar spectrum can be applied in many different device structures.
