Abstract

This review article provides an overview of various novel nanowire array solar cells and highlights the aspects of electromagnetic simulations that are a valuable tool for understanding the optical processes leading to their distinct properties. As the computational methods commonly used for the task are well established, we focus on the question how numerical modeling can be used to assess the performance of a design and reveal the working principle of the devices. We conclude that scientific literature identifies numerical simulations as paramount for design and interpretation of experimental data. © Springer Science+Business Media LLC 2012.
