Inhaltsangabe:
  • The paper considers a model for the solar cell as a mechanical open-cycle thermodynamic engine where the chemical potential is produced in an isochoric process corresponding to the thermalization of electron-hole pairs. Expansion of the beam under one-sun illumination and current generation are described as isothermal lost work. More generally, voltage produced in an open cycle process corresponds to availability, leading to a correction to the Shockley-Queisser detailed balance limit.
