Over one billion people lack access to electricity and many of them in rural areas far from existing infrastructure. Off-grid systems can provide an alternative to extending the grid network and using renewable energy, for example solar photovoltaics

III-V multijunction solar cells (MJSCs) operate close to the radiative limit under solar concentration. In this regime, radiative losses from the semiconductor material in one junction of the solar cell can be absorbed by a subsequent junction, there

The performance of concentrator photovoltaic systems can be characterised by the power output under reference conditions and the output energy yield under realistic solar illumination. For a range of locations, the frequency distribution of individua

III–V concentrator photovoltaic systems attain high efficiency through the use of series connected multi-junction solar cells. As these solar cells absorb over distinct bands over the solar spectrum, they have a more complex response to real illumi

The balance of photogeneration and recombination gives rise to an optimum bandgap for any solar cell. The radiative limit represents the lowest permissible level of recombination in a solar cell and, therefore, places an upper limit on the voltage th

The band gap of the quantum well (QW) solar cell can be adapted to the incident spectral conditions by tailoring the QW depth. The single-junction strain-balanced quantum well solar cell (SB-QWSC) has achieved an efficiency of 28.3%. The dominant los

The use of nanostructures has been shown to provide practical performance enhancements to high-efficiency III-V based solar cells by permitting sub-bandgap tuneable absorption. Nanostructures present a fertile ground for new solar cell technologies,

The modeling of high efficiency, multijunction (MJ) solar cells away from the radiative limit is presented. In the model, we quantify the effect of non-radiative recombination by using radiative efficiency as a figure of merit to extract realistic va
