An ideal tandem solar cell, with an infinite number of diodes, has the same limit efficiency whether or not the diodes are connected electrically in series. In case of a series connection, the device has a single current–voltage characteristic. The latter can easily be deduced, and its efficiency therefore can easily be calculated.
