| The maximum efficiency of the present device increases to **22.3% for 100-sun concentration** according to nextnano³ simulation, mainly due to the increase in open circuit voltage (Figure {{ref>efficiency}}, blue). This means one cell operating under 100 suns can produce the same power output as 100 P<sub>sun</sub>*0.223/(P<sub>sun</sub>*0.17)=131 cells under 1 sun. Optical concentration reduces the total cost of solar cells since concentrator materials are usually less expensive than the ones for solar cells [Sze]. | The maximum efficiency of the present device increases to **22.3% for 100-sun concentration** according to nextnano³ simulation, mainly due to the increase in open circuit voltage (Figure {{ref>efficiency}}, blue).
