High-intensity, solid-state-solar cell device
Patent
·
OSTI ID:6439527
A semiconductor solar cell capable of converting incident radiation to electrical energy at high efficiency includes a plurality of series-connected unit solar cells formed on a common wafer of semiconductor material. The unit solar cells each include a semiconductor substrate of one conductivity type and a p-n junction formed in the substrate. The light-receiving surface of the cell may have an opaque member thereon, and incident light is directed onto the portion of that surface not covered by the opaque member. A variety of embodiments illustrates the invention.
