Abstract

Device simulations are a crucial part of the development of novel and more efficient types of solar cells. We give a brief introduction to the theoretical and numerical background of solar cell device simulations, and show that most of the key parameters may be taken from ab initio numerical data, rather than experimental data. We also discuss a simple strategy to implement up- and down-conversion layers into solar cell device simulations.
