Multi-junction silicon-based thin-film concentrator solar cells are promising candidate to achieve both low-cost and high-efficiency. For the application of silicon-based thin film solar cells to concentrator photovoltaics, it is required to be revealed the light intensity dependence of the performance of silicon-based thin film solar cells. From these reasons, in this study both calculation and experimental studies were conducted with several types of single-junction and multi-junction tandem solar cells.
From both simulation and measurement results, we observed that double-and triple-junction solar cells achieve high open-circuit voltage and large logarithmic increment in open-circuit voltage with increasing lightintensities. On the other hand, it became clear that the drop of fill factor is required to be improved for the realization of the multi-junction silicon-based thin-film solar cells with very high efficiency under low concentration ratios of sunlight.
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.
