Sandy asks…

What is the maximum power a solar cell can provide?

Assuming light of arbitrary intensity is available, what is the limitation of the maximum power a solar cell can provide for a given surface area? What causes this limitation?
Assuming light of arbitrary intensity is available, what is the limitation of the maximum power a solar cell can provide for a given surface area? What causes this limitation? I’m not talking about the 1000 W/m^2 standard solar heat flux. I’ve seen fresnel lenses intensify this to nearly a point, putting a large area of solar energy into a small cell at a heat flux of hundreds of suns. What are the limits of doing this? Heat is one obvious problem, but are there others?
This has nothing to do with efficiency. Assume an arbitrary (or infinite) number of photons are cheaply available.
