6 FAQs about [Double junction photovoltaic cells]

What is a double-junction tandem solar cell?

Double-junction tandem solar cells (TSCs), featuring a wide-bandgap top cell (TC) and narrow-bandgap bottom cell (BC), outperform single-junction photovoltaics, demanding meticulous subcell selection and optimization.

What is a multi-junction photovoltaic cell?

At present, the most efficient photovoltaic cells use multiple III-V-semiconductor materials with bandgaps spanning the solar spectrum. Today, commercially available multi-junction photovoltaic devices are triple-junction solar cells made of GaInP, GaAs, and Ge layers that achieve typical conversion efficiencies above 30%.

Could multijunction solar cells be a breakthrough in photovoltaics?

Though solar electricity is currently expensive, it is expected that the use of high-efficient multijunction solar cells with innovative concepts in concentrators has the potential to establish a new milestone in photovoltaics, generating electricity at 7-10 cents per kilowatt/hour in a visible future [1, 19].

How do multi-junction solar cells work?

Multi-junction solar cells consist of some single-junction solar cells stacked upon each other, so that each layer going from the top to the bottom has a smaller bandgap than the previous, and so it absorbs and converts the photons that have energies greater than the bandgap of that layer and less than the bandgap of the higher layer .

Are four-junction solar cells better than triple-Junktion solar cells?

Thus, present-day four-junction solar cells do not lead to higher efficiencies than triple-junction devices. Five- and six-junction cell designs partition the solar spectrum into narrower wavelength ranges than triple-junction cells that allows all the subcells to be better current matched to the low-current-producing subcell [1, 27, 30].

How efficient is a multi-junction solar cell?

A present-day record efficiency of 40.7% was achieved exactly with a multi-junction solar cell by Boeing Spectrolab Inc. in December 2006 . At first, fundamentals of photovoltaics and the basic features of multi-junction solar cells will be described.
