Larry Kazmerski, National Renewable Energy Laboratory
Solar energy from photovoltaic devices has been around since the early days of the space race, but historically has not had a substantial impact on our global energy scheme. Is that now changing?
Dr. Larry Kazmerski is the executive director of Science & Technology Partnerships at the National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) in Golden, CO. He has worked at NREL for over 30 years and was previously the director of the National...
Summary: Power conversion efficiency is one of the most important parameters that can directly affect the overall cost of a PV installation. In the Shockley-Queisser detailed balanced analysis, the power conversion efficiency is limited to ~33% for a single light absorbing layer. The major energy loss occurs from the excess photon energy, energy greater than the semiconductor bandgap, which is lost as heat through electron-phonon coupling and subsequent phonon relaxation and energy...
