Third‐Generation Solar Cells
Another approach is to modify the solar spectrum incident on the cell to narrow its bandwidth and make it closer to optimal for a single-bandgap cell. A third approach is to allow the photons to generate a thermal population of some sort in an absorber. The chapter also discusses a few other approaches such as the use of nonreciprocal devices.
Third generation solar cells
InP solar cells have been shown to degrade less under irradiation than GaAs and Si and so InP cells have good prospects for space. Work is underway to improve PV performance of InP cells with good conversion efficiency as well as power/weight ratio. The latter being very important since launch cost is so high, power/weight ratio is critical. Less well …
Third-generation photovoltaic cell
Third-generation photovoltaic cells are solar cells that are potentially able to overcome the Shockley–Queisser limit of 31–41% power efficiency for single bandgap solar cells. This includes a range of alternatives to cells made of semiconducting p-n junctions ("first generation") and thin film cells ("second generation"). Common third-generation systems include multi-layer ("tandem") cells made of amorphous silicon or gallium arsenide, while more theoretical developments include freq…
