Abstract
In this work, the accurate light-generation model which accounts for t he wave nature of light is compared to the classical model which assum es the simple exponential decay of absorbed light and considers only t he two most important reflections. Both models are used to calculate b oth internal and external electrical characteristics of the illuminate d amorphous silicon solar cell. The results are compared to find out w hen the classical formula can be used, and when accounting for light i nterference is necessary.
