Upper limit of efficiency for photovoltaic solar cells

A theoretical upper limit of efficiency is obtained for a photovoltaic solar cell which uses a semiconductor with a single energy gap. This limit is not based on a particular material or type of device and may be used with any solar or absorption spectrum.
