calculation of metal potential

Hi all,
I want to simulate a metal-semiconductor solar cell. Unlike the demo in the software, I want the metal electrode from the metal side to be disconnected, creating sort of 'floating gate', but the electrode from silicon side still connected (say 0v). IN this case, I want to see the metal potential change under illumination due to photo carrier injection from semiconductor.
I have tried using floating gate, but it doesn't work, because floating gate cannot attached to anything. I also tried Schottky junction demo in the software, but in the demo the metal electrode cannot be disconnected; in other words, the voltage has to be fixed.
Can anyone please gieve some suggestions on how to probe the potential of 'floating metal' in a metal-semiconductor solar cell?
Thanks!
