Abstract

Performance of III-V multi-junction solar cells depends on spectral conditions according to which junction limits the photocurrent. Specifically, the response of concentrating multi-junction solar cells depends on the illumination at the cell surface. Because the illumination condition depends on alignment, it is important to characterize the CPV performance not only for a mono-module but also for a system or an array. In this paper the spectral effect on the CPV system and the mono-module consisting of III-V multi-junction solar cells from three different manufactures will be discussed.
