Abstract
This chapter presents the classical procedures for calculating the short-circuit spectral current density for the base and for the emitter of a solar cell. Subsequently, the quantum efficiency and the spectral response are calculated. The method is performed with virtual instrumentation through LabVIEW’s graphical programming language.
