Measuring Conversion Efficiency of Solar Vapor Generation

The standard silicon solar cell has very low absorption below its bandgap (∼1,200 nm), where nearly a quarter of the solar spectrum resides. Therefore, if there are spikes at long wavelengths (over 1,200 nm) from a light source, the standard silicon solar cell cannot detect them, while a thermopile can. In that regard, we recommend a thermopile be used to

Solar Energy Conversion Rates: Maximizing Efficiency and Output
