The lensed high‐voltage vertical multijunction solar cell

摘要

The vertical multijunction solar cell with covering lens is a photovoltaic device which promises high‐voltage, high‐efficiency outputs. The structure described here is a modification of a structure previously reported. It is shown that the original high‐voltage vertical multijunction solar cell is capable of high voltages but not high efficiencies. The solar cell described here is capable of higher efficiencies, but a more detailed analysis than presented here is necessary before a comparison between this cell and a conventional solar cell can be made.
