By using rigorous diffraction theory we investigate the potential for enhancing the efficiency of tandem solar cells by means of various intermediate reflectors and randomly textured surfaces simultaneously. We show that the superior efficiency of tandem solar cells with intermediate reflectors can be further enhanced by incorporating randomly textured surfaces. Since such surfaces are always present in realistic devices, these findings will have a tremendous impact in paving the way toward the integration of state-of-the-art intermediate reflectors into actual solar cells.
