      abstract     = {This article presents an extension of the classical
                      gain/loss analysis of Brendel et al. based on the balance of
                      free energy in a solar cell. We consider the full balance of
                      all thermodynamic potentials by separating the excess free
                      energy into excess chemical and excess electrostatic
                      potentials. A layer-by-layer analysis of an exemplary
                      silicon solar cell shows that the different functionalities
                      of different parts of the solar cell, e.g., the neutral base
                      and the space charge regions, are well reflected in the
                      different pictures provided by looking at the thermodynamic
                      potentials separately. Additionally, we investigate fill
                      factor losses by insufficient majority carrier collection at
                      the back contact of the solar cell with two prototypical
                      passivation layers. Here we show that resistive losses,
                      i.e., losses in the electrostatic potential can be
                      distinguished from kinetic losses, i.e., losses in the
                      chemical potential.},
