Carrier collection efficiencies in a silicon p -n junction solar cell are calculated as a function of base thickness for a range of 0.1–100 μm. Using the most realistic values of carrier diffusion lengths and surface recombination velocities, it is shown that thin-film silicon cells can yield unexpectedly good efficiencies.
