In the present tutorial, solar energy conversion is described in the framework of endoreversible thermodynamics, i.e. a recently developed subset of irreversible thermodynamics. From a general thermo-chemical endoreversible engine, we deduce the photovoltaic, the photothermal and the photochemical solar energy converter, besides of a few other, non-solar devices.
