Recent Improvements in Materials for Thin GaAs and Multibandgap Solar Cells

Research output: NRELTechnical Report

Abstract

The High Efficiency Concepts Program at SERI supports research on III-V compound semiconductors with the objective of achieving the maximum attainable photovoltaic conversion efficiencies for terrestrial solar electric power. The outcome of this research may also effect the future of space photovoltaic cells. While the interest in thin-film, high-efficiency solar cells for terrestrialapplications is driven principally by consideration of system costs, such cells would also improve the power density of space power arrays.
