Development of the Lattice Matched GaInP/GaInAs/Ge Triple Junction Solar Cell with an Efficiency Over 40%
This paper summarizes the state-of-the-art of the lattice matched GaInP/Ga(In)As/Ge triple-junction solar cell developed at the Solar Energy Institute of UPM (IES-UPM). Different research topics tackled over the last years about this structure are described. As result of this work, an efficiency of ∼ 40% at ∼ 415 × is presented.
