Abstract

Computer modelling can reduce the costs of CPV solar cell development by allowing the evaluation of designs without physical device growth. We present solcore, a powerful multi-tier modelling framework for simulation of nano-structured solar cells, written in the open source, popular, and approachable programming language Python. Capabilities include modules for materials (parameterisation, database), 1D arbitrary potential Schrödinger equation solver and absorption calculator, k⋅p band structure solver, spectral irradiance model and database, and multijunction quantum efficiency and IV calculators.
