Abstract

Over the last decade, a variety of highly efficient solar cells have been presented in the literature [1]. Often the assembly of these novel photovoltaic devices requires substantial modifications in the basic layout of conventional organic and inorganic solar cells. To facilitate the development of such novel devices, the implementation of new light harnessing features, like frequency conversion layers or plasmonic nanoparticles, needs to be integrated into the existing device simulation codes as well. In this work, we present a simple theoretical and numerical approach to add frequency conversion layers to a basic solar cell device model.
