An opto‐electro‐thermal simulation of solar cells (SCs) is presented by addressing optoelectronic and thermodynamic responses simultaneously. The photocurrent losses due to carrier recombinations and the intrinsic heat generation (thermalization/Joule/Peltier/recombination heat) and dissipation (convective/radiative cooling) processes in the SCs are investigated quantitatively.
