These efficiency limits are true for P-N junction solar cells. There are other solar cell types which can ultimately achieve higher efficiencies, but they are currently lab curiosities with low efficiencies.
- MBCook 2y agoThat’s the kind of thing I was trying to get at with my “current approach” comment. Maybe solar cells based on chemical reactions or [insert science things here] can do far better, but right now semiconductors is what everyone sells.
