We present the growth, fabrication, and photovoltaic characteristics of Inx Ga1−xN/GaN(x∼0.35) multiple quantum well solar cells for concentrator applications. The open circuit voltage, short circuit current density, and solar-energy-to-electricity conversion efficiency were found to increase under concentrated sunlight. The overall efficiency increases from 2.95% to 3.03% when solar concentration increases from 1 to 30 suns and could be enhanced by further improving the material quality.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
