AB  - This study aims to determine the maximum possible energy conversion efficiency of visibly transparent solar cells using the detailed balance limit (also known as the Shockley–Queisser limit) and compare it to the efficiency of traditional single-junction solar cells. To achieve this, a new optical nanoantenna has been designed to absorb incoming light selectively, enhancing the average visible transmission while maintaining high absorption in the infrared and UV regions. The color appearance of the antennas has also been evaluated through colorimetrical characterization. Our findings indicate that it is possible to achieve high average visible transparency and energy conversion efficiency of over 80 and 18%, respectively, by carefully selecting semiconductor materials. Such solar cells are versatile enough to be integrated seamlessly into smart windows, agrivoltaic concepts in open and protected cultivation, mobile devices, and appliances without compromising their appearance or functionality. The dimensions and optics of the proposed antennas and visibly transparent solar cells have been thoroughly discussed.

AB  - Perovskite/silicon tandem solar cells are considered as one of the cost-effective solutions for determining high energy conversion efficiencies. Efficient photon management allows improving light incoupling in solar cells by reducing optical losses. The optics relies upon the interface morphology, and consequently, the growth mechanism of the top cell on the bottom cell is crucial for the implementation of efficient perovskite/silicon tandem solar cells. To describe the interface morphologies of perovskite/silicon tandem solar cells, a three-dimensional surface algorithm is used that allows investigating the perovskite solar cells deposited on the textured crystalline silicon solar cells. We distinguish between two extreme cases in which the film grows only in the direction of the substrate normal or in the direction of the local surface normal. The growth mode has significant influence on the film roughness, the effective thickness of the film, the optics of the solar cell, and
the photovoltaic parameters. The optics is investigated by finite-difference time-domain simulations. The influence of the interface morphology on the photovoltaic parameters is discussed, and guidelines are provided to reach high short-circuit current density and energy conversion efficiency.
