Recently a Ga 0.51 In 0.49 P/GaAs/Si triple-junction solar cell with an efficiency of 30.2 % AM1.5g has been published and 30.0% under 112x AM1.5d . These results show the high potential of III–V/Si tandem solar cells combining the high performance of the III–V multijunction cells with the low cost of silicon. 3.6.
One of the benefits of using III–V semiconductors for multijunction solar cells is the wide flexibility in bandgap combinations that can be realized. Thus the first decision to be made when designing a III–V multijunction solar cell is the number of junctions and bandgap energies.
The output current of the multijunction solar cell is limited to the smallest of the currents produced by any of the individual junctions. If this is the case, the currents through each of the subcells are constrained to have the same value.
