The quantum efficiency of a solar cell quantifies the effect of recombination on the light generation current. The quantum efficiency of a silicon solar cell is shown below. Typical quantum efficiency in an ideal and actual solar cell, illustrating the impact of optical and recombination losses.
Suppressing charge recombination is key for organic solar cells to become commercial reality. However, there is still no conclusive picture of how recombination losses are influenced by the complex nanoscale morphology. Here, new insight is provided by revisiting the P3HT:PCBM blend, which is still one of the best performers regarding reduced

In the CIGSe and a-Si:H/c-Si heterojunction solar cells, the recombination loss is negligible and high optical gains of ~80% have been realized. All the other solar cells show the recombination losses, primarily because of the lack of the BSF structures in the solar cells.
Although the advances in organic solar cells (OSCs) have been considerable, their efficiency is still limited by recombination losses. Photogenerated electrons and holes are generally bound as localized excitons

For the production of solar cells, the reduction of surface recombination by passivation of the electrically active recombination centres has the highest priority. The surface recombination velocity S is a variable with the unit cm s −1; it indicates how fast charge carriers recombine on the surface.
Increasing the absorption angle is a commonly used method to suppress this loss process. Non-radiative recombination loss and series loss are extremely significant for the high-concentration-ratio photovoltaic system, covering 15%–40% of the total incident solar energy for the cells with bandgap below 2.0 eV in the case of 100 suns.
