In the present work, a simplified model of a hot carrier cell is examined at different energy levels of carrier collection. Incident photons, Monte Carlo generated by employing the ASTM G173–03 data set, are accounted for individually as they interact with the cell. The hot carrier cells are examined in a transient state caused by a flash of photons with AM1.5 spectrum. Excess photon energy is recycled giving a form of thermalization of hot carriers. The sensitivity of contact variables and the device band gap on cell efficiency, has been studied.
