A semiconductor can absorb photons with the energy of its band gap in a solar cell. Photons with lower energy than the band gap of the devices are not absorbed. Solar radiation contains a broad range of wavelengths. Solar cell actually achieves nearly 100 % conversion at particular wavelengths of light, because electron hole pair can be produced from a single photon at a particular wavelength. However, an electron hole pair is also produced when a photon with a shorter wavelength (higher energy) is absorbed, in which case the excess energy is wasted as heat. This is a cause of low efficiency of the silicon solar cells for its small optical band gap. In multi-junction solar cells, each junction (subcell) absorbs sunlight from a specific region of the spectrum. The subcells can be stacked on top of one another so that sunlight first strikes the highest band gap subcell, which is tuned to light with the shorter wavelengths (highest energies). The longer wavelengths pass through the first subcell and strike the lower band gap subcells (second one), and so on. This arrangement offers a significant advantage over single-junction solar cells. In this way the efficiency of the solar cell is been enhanced. But problem is making a unique electric field from upper electrode to bottom electrode for moving the excited carriers to the outer circuit.
