Consider monochromatic light at a wavelength 600 nm with intensity 20 mW/cm2. Calculate the photon flux, defined as photons/cm2/s. If we use the beam in (ii) to illuminate a perovskite solar cell (bandgap 1.5 eV), what is the maximum short circuit current we can expect from our solar cell if its area is 2 cm2?
Example Key Parameters A silicon solar cell (bandgap 1.12 eV) is uniformly illuminated by monochromatic light of wavelength 600 nm and intensity 40 mW/cm2. Given that its external quantum efficiency at this wavelength is 0.9 the ideality factor is 1.5, and the dark saturation current density is 3 pA/cm2 i calculate the short circuit current of the cell if its area is 2 cmA2 calculate the open circuit voltage iii) fill factor iv) energy conversion efficiency
