Controlling Current, Voltage and Heat in a Solar Cell with Photonic Nanostructures

Open Access Open Access

Abstract

The use of photonic nanostructures offer many new opportunities for enhancing the performance of solar cells. In this talk, we will present the theoretical consideration for current and voltage enhancement through photonic engineering. We will also show that the use of the photonic structures may lead to the possibility of radiative cooling of solar absorbers.
