“…In the context of solar cells, Monte Carlo simulations have been used to determine reflectance and absorbance profiles, with the fundamental physical laws being Snell's Law, Lambert-Beer's Law and the Fresnel equations [12]. To determine when the simulation should end, several simulation tools consider the intensity as a continuous parameter (which decreases when the ray travels through absorbing media), and the end of a run is determined at a certain threshold [13], while in others, the ray is either simulated or ended based on probabilities calculated from the aforementioned processes up to a definite number of steps (after which the simulation is ended) [10].…”

“…At present, Monte Carlo Ray Tracing (MCRT) simulations are the most reliable non-experimental means for predicting radiative properties of heterogeneous structures [1]- [9]; such predictions are otherwise only computable directly via extremely limited and costly experiments [10]- [16] or approximate models rooted in extensive measurements [17]- [23]. Though only valid in geometric optics regimes where particle sizes and interspacing are large (so diffraction and dependent scattering are negligible), MCRT has been persistently invoked and improved over the past few decades [24]- [46]. However, due to stringent precision requirements, the high computational cost of setup and execution, as well as parameter-dependent uncertainty, the required time and computational cost of MC simulations are prohibitively high for obtaining accurate estimates [47]- [50].…”

“…Concentrator photovoltaics (CPV) is a photovoltaic technology that generates electricity from sunlight. Sun rays can be concentrated on the solar cell with various types of concentrators: lens concentrator, mirror concentrator, reflector concentrator, static concentrator, Luminescent Solar Concentrator [20,21]. Systems using low-concentration photovoltaics (LCPV) have the potential to become competitive in the near future with low cost.…”
