Abstract
Recent improvements in III-V semiconductor materials for solar cell applications are discussed. The work of the High Efficiency Concepts Program at the Solar Energy Research Institute, which supports research on III-V compound semiconductors with the objective of achieving the maximum attainable photovoltaic conversion efficiency for terrestrial solar electric power is described. It is asserted that, while the interest in thin-film, high-efficiency solar cells for terrestrial applications is driven principally by consideration of system costs, such cells would also improve the power density of space power arrays.
