Abstract: The potential for increasing silicon solar-cell efficiency by beam splitting using liquid absorption-filters is demonstrated experimentally. The effects of beam splitting on the solar-cell parameters, such as open-circuit voltage, short-circuit current and cell temperature are reported. Three liquid absorption-filters are tested. Among them cobalt sulfate proved to be the best choice for yielding a higher cell efficiency, while Valvoline was the best choice from the thermal energy point-of-view.
