- Homework Statement
- Can the efficiency of a solar cell with a single band gap reach 100%?
- Relevant Equations
- hf>Wg (band gap energy)
I have tried looking up online with the photoelectric effect, it just mentioned the energy of the photon must have to equal to band-gap energy.
Yet, it didn't mention if 100% can be reached in that case, or if a single bandgap makes any effect??

I will have exam tomorrow, and I would like to clarify with the concept. Thank you very much.
