MultijunctionInorganic Solar Cells Efficiency limits Below band gap photons not absorbed Thermalization of excess energy Sources of energy loss CB VB Increasing VOC and decreasing JSC Triple-junction cells Appl. Phys. Lett. 90, 183516?(2007) Emcore Corporation, May (2006) World Record: 40.7% under 240 suns! 1.7-1.9 eV 1.3-1.4 eV 0.67 eV The cells are in series; current is passed through device The current is limited by the layers that produces the least current. The voltages of the cells add The higher band gap must see the light first. Current Matching Individually Optimized Cells Cu
