Output power and efficiency upper bound of real solar heat engines

SYNOPSIS Maximum power and efficiency at the maximum power of an irreversible solar heat engine are treated. When time is explicitly considered in the energy exchanges between the solar heat engine and its surroundings, it is found that there is a bound on the efficiency of the real solar heat engine at the maximum power condition. This bound can guide the evaluation of existing solar power generating systems or influence design of future solar heat engines.
