Abstract
Numerical modelling based on random walk methods provides a very versatile tool to describe transport and recombination processes in solar cells made with disordered materials and nanostructured devices. These methods are especially suited to describe these systems since they are characterized by a wide dispersion of spatial and energy states.Keywords
