Theoretical limits of photovoltaic solar energy conversion
It gives a (theoretical) optimum efficiency of 44% which corresponds to a band-gap of 2.2 kTp, where Tp is the temperature of the sun (“p” stands for “pump”). This efficiency reduces to about 30% for one

Shockley–Queisser limit
The Shockley–Queisser limit is calculated by examining the amount of electrical energy that is extracted per photon of incoming sunlight. There are several considerations: Any material, that is not at absolute zero (0 kelvins), emits electromagnetic radiation through the black-body radiation effect. In a cell at room temperature, this represents

Shockley–Queisser limit
This accounts for about 33% of the incident sunlight, meaning that, for silicon, from spectrum losses alone there is a theoretical conversion efficiency limit of about 48%, ignoring all other factors.
