Abstract EN
Monolithically stacked multijunction solar cells based on III–V semiconductors materials are the state-of-art of approach for high efficiency photovoltaic energy conversion, in particular for space applications.
The individual subcells of the multi-junction structure are interconnected via tunnel diodes which must be optically transparent and connect the component cells with a minimum electrical resistance.
The quality of these diodes determines the output performance of the solar cell.
The purpose of this work is to contribute to the investigation of the tunnel electrical resistance of such a multi-junction cell through the analysis of the current-voltage (J-V) characteristics under illumination.
Our approach is based on an equivalent circuit model of a diode for each subcell.
We examine the effect of tunnel resistance on the performance of a multi-junction cell using minimization of the least squares technique.
