%X Design of the metallic contact grid at the front side of thermophotovoltaic cells is critical. Our study, based on a rigorous approach, investigates the real influence of the front metal contact grid. By modelling this grid by a metallic grating, we show that it can significantly affect the electrical power generated by the cell. Quantitative and qualitative analyses indicate behaviors which are quite different from those predicted by previous simplistic approaches.
