The potential of GaAs-based mechanically stacked, multijunction solar concentrator cells

Conference ·
OSTI ID:6430744

The potential performance of GaAs-based mechanically stacked, multijunction (MSMJ) solar concentrator cells in 500X and 1000X concentrator modules are analyzed. The module operating temperature of MSMJ cells is higher than that of single-junction cells due to the stacked cell construction, which reduces the expected performance advantages of MSMJ versus single-junction cells. 12 refs., 2 figs., 2 tabs.
