The PhC solar cells exhibit multiple resonant peaks in the 900–1200 nm wavelength range of the absorption spectra, a region where conventional silicon solar cells and planar cells absorb negligible sunlight.
A spectral response curve is shown below. The spectral response of a silicon solar cell under glass. At short wavelengths below 400 nm the glass absorbs most of the light and the cell response is very low. At intermediate wavelengths the cell approaches the ideal. At long wavelengths the response falls back to zero.
The optical properties of silicon measure at 300K 1. While a wide range of wavelengths is given here, silicon solar cells typical only operate from 400 to 1100 nm. There is a more up to date set of data in Green 2008 2. It is available in tabulated form from pvlighthouse as text and in graphical format.

It is known that an ideal SR could not be achieved at long wavelengths because semiconductors in solar cells are unable to absorb photon energies below the bandgap. Hence, while using numerous methods such as solar concentrators and multijunction solar cells to obtain a better SR, degradation appears to be faster than normal.
The spectral response and the quantum efficiency are both used in solar cell analysis and the choice depends on the application. The spectral response uses the power of the light at each wavelength whereas the quantum efficiency uses the photon flux. Converting QE to SR is done with the following formula:
