Abstract	A numerical method to correlate the surface recombination velocity and the Fermi-level pinning is provided. This correlation was integrated into the simulation of the GaAs nano-scale solar cells, and the surface-dependent performance of the solar cells can be obtained. This method is also applied to the simulation of the radial-junction nanorod solar cells with sidewall contacts.
