On the theoretical maximum efficiency of solar-radiation utilization

Energy, 1989, vol. 14, issue 9, 571-573

Abstract: Three expressions for the maximum efficiency of solar-radiation conversion (first proposed by Petela, Spanner, and Jeter, respectively) are compared with the efficiency of a photo-thermal converter, with and without concentration. All three of the expressions may be applied for concentrated radiation. For diffuse solar radiation, good results are obtained from the expressions proposed by Petela and Jeter.
