The use of solar energy for existing buildings is in an early phase of development and there 1s a lack of common understanding about its advantages and disadvantages, including, for exam go
Multi-band solar cells provide a possible approach to obtain photovoltaic e ciencies that are greater than that of a single junction solar cell. In the three-band case, an intermediate band harnesses photons of energy less than that between the two main bands, allowing these photons to contribute to
## Abstract What are the solar cell efficiencies that we can strive towards? We show here that several simple criteria, based on cell and module performance data, serve to evaluate and compare all types of today's solar cells. Analyzing these data allows to gauge in how far significant progress can
