Abstract

We present our scientific and philosophical analysis of the comments made in the recent paper of A.P. Kirk, An Analysis of Quantum Coherent Solar Photovoltaic Cells Physica B 407 (2012) 544. We highlight the key role of quantum coherence in the enhancement of the photocell power without violating the laws of thermodynamics.
