Abstract
The contribution shows how the properties of real world photovoltaic devices are physically linked to the idealized situation defined by the Shockley-Queisser efficiency limit and how differences between real devices and the limitis can be measured. The preeminent role of optics in the definition of a detailed balance theory beyond Shockley-Queisser is highlighted.
