Multiwalled carbon nanotubes are used to electromechanically reinforce metal gridlines and busbars on commercial triple-junction solar cells. For the reinforcement, we create a layer-by-layer microstructure which consists of electroplated silver, spr

In an effort to reduce the radiation degradation of triple-junction solar cells, imbedded photon management is investigated as a means for reducing the middle subcell thickness while maintaining output. The (In)GaAs subcells of the conventional latti

Solar cells in space experience varying temperatures throughout their lifetime on spacecraft and satellites. At higher temperatures, photovoltaic performance decreases. In multijunction cells, a reduction in open-circuit voltage occurs across each su

Lattice-matched multiple quantum wells (MQWs) consisting of InxGa1-xAs wells with very thin GaAs0.2P0.8 barriers have been incorporated into a GaInP/GaAs tandem solar cell. InGaAs/GaAsP MQWs increase the short-circuit current of the GaAs cell by exte

Minority carrier transport across InGaAs/GaAsP multiple quantum wells is studied by measuring the response of p-i-n and n-i-p GaAs solar cell structures. It is observed that the spectral response depends critically upon the width of the GaAsP barrier

Multiple quantum wells (MQW) lattice matched to GaAs consisting of In0.14Ga0.76As wells balanced with GaAs0.24P0.76 barriers have been used to extend the absorption of GaAs subcells to longer wavelengths for use in an InGaP/GaAs/Ge triple-junction ph

In this work, we present the use of a simple, cost-effective, and manufacturable method of depositing carbon nanotubes onto metal films to create metal matrix composite gridlines for photovoltaic cells. Carbon nanotubes are deposited using a spray co
