Analysis of Different Output Parameters of Multi-junction Inorganic Solar Cell

Nidhi Sinha, Varun Chandra, Diksha Joshi

Abstract


One of the partial solutions to the urgent crisis of global warming and energy shortage is the replacement of fossil fuels with renewable sources. The solar cell is one of the most attractive sources of renewable energy. To increase the efficiency of Solar cell various multi junction solar cell designs were proposed and analyzed. In general, By and large, the productivity of the multi-junction solar cell relies on different outline parameters, for example, material sort, thickness of the layers, doping concentration, type of texturing and thickness of anti-reflective coating. Multijunction solar cells comprising of series stacked p-n junction layers offer a huge change in efficiency over ordinary solar cells by generating power over a bigger range of daylight. The plan of multijunction solar cells is confused by both the longing to have maximally effective intersection layers and the need to coordinate the current delivered in every junction layer under ideal load conditions. Maximum reported efficiency was >50% with the four junction InGaP/GaAs/MQW/Ge solar cell
