Hans J. Queisser coauthored Detailed Balance Limit of Efficiency of p-n Junction Solar Cells by William Shockley and Hans J. Queisser. The analysis balances photon absorption and radiative emission to constrain the efficiency of an idealized single-junction solar cell. The result is an upper limit under stated optical and recombination assumptions, so a comparison with a real solar cell must identify which assumptions apply.[ref]
