Abstrakt: The present work aims at better understanding the effects of the different limiting mechanisms on the performance of multi-junction stacks comprising up to 5 subcells, and to assess the extent to which the iso-efficiency curves derived with the detailed balance model are affected by these non-ideal losses. In light of these results, further discussions and analysis will be carried out in order to understand which arrangements of bandgaps could potentially achieve practical conversion efficiency approaching the theoretical limit.
