Abstract
Calculations are presented which indicate that the maximum theoretical solar conversion efficiency of Schottky‐barrier solar cells is very similar to that of conventional homojunction solar cells, e.g. values of 22–24% apply to Si, and ∼ 25% to semiconductors having a band gap between 1.4 and 1.6 eV.Keywords
