We show that two-terminal multijunction cells interconnected by tunnel junctions are fairly immune to individual local shunts, thanks to the shunt quenching. Interestingly, they may still suffer from global shunts. We ...

This work presents particular aspects dealing with the measurement of the spectral response (SR) on multijunction solar cells, a tricky and somewhat complex issue. Here, we demonstrate the development of a facility to ...

Ternary group-IV alloys have a wide potential for applications in infrared devices and optoelectronics. In connection with photovoltaic applications, they are among the most promising materials for inclusion in the next ...

In this paper, the experimental results of a 10 MeV proton irradiation on concentrator GaInP/GaAs/Ge lattice-matched triple-junction solar cells and their corresponding subcells are examined. Electro-optical characterization ...

Multijunction solar cells based on InGaP and GaAs materials are currently the state of the art for space applications due to their high eciencies. However, the space is a hazardous environment with di↵erent energetic ...

This paper presents a method to predict the I-V characteristic of triple junction InGaP/GaAs/Ge solar cells when different illumination spectra are used, and it is based on the measurement of a set of commercial isotype ...
