Effect of band gap on power conversion efficiency of single-junction semiconductor photovoltaic cells under white light phosphor-based LED illumination

Abstract

On the basis of the detailed balance principle, curves of efficiency limit of single-junction photovoltaic cells at warm and cool white light phosphor-based LED bulbs with luminous efficacy exceeding 100 lm/W have been simulated. The effect of energy band gap and illuminance on the efficiencies at warm and cool light is discussed. The simulations carried out show that maximum power conversion efficiency at 1000 lx reaches 52.0% for cool light and 53.6% for warm one, while the optimal energy band gap is 1.80 eV and 1.88 eV, respectively. The simulated limits are also referenced to experimental data presented in literature to show that there is still a lot of room for improving indoor photovoltaic cells.
