The following (Attached image) is an external quantum efficiency of a CZTS solar cell with structure Glass/Mo/CZTS/CdS/AZO/Ag. The ideal QE curve would be a rectangle (red curve). The experimental QE is much less than the ideal one because of losses at different regions outlined 1, 2, 3 and 4. Please explain what are those losses.
