A comparison of the radiation tolerance characteristics of multijunction solar cells with series and voltage-matched configurations

Conference ·
OSTI ID:5026123
The effect of series and voltage-matched configurations on the performance of multijunction solar cells in a radiation environment was investigated. It was found that the configuration of the multijunction solar cell can have a significant impact on its radiation tolerence characteristics.
