Abstract
Sun is a source of abundant energy. Solar energy incident on a solar cell is converted into usable form of energy that is electrical energy. Total amount of energy incident on a solar cell is not 100% converted into electrical energy. There are several energy losses inherent in this process. The major portion of the energy is lost because of heat generation and thus leading to temperature increase of solar cell causing inevitable decrease in efficiency of solar cells. These losses and their minimization play an important role in solar to electrical energy conversion. In this paper, different loss mechanisms in solar cells and spectral correction methods are systematically discussed.
