Popis: Angle-dependent characteristics of spectral photoresponse for both idealized and real upper-limit efficiency cascade PV cells (or photoelectric converters, PC) have been studied as function of single PCs number in cascade, and their values for silicon PC structures in visible radiation range have been evaluated. Characteristic values of radiation incidence angle corresponding to twofold photocurrent reduction in comparison with normal radiation incidence have been defined as a function of single PC number in cascade and photosensitivity of the base PC. Expediency of sun-tracking equipment application in photoelectric solar systems on the basis of cascade PV cells, as well as that of tracking accuracy improvement, compared to conventional PCs has been substantiated and possibility to use different cascade PV cells with particular tracking system has been specified.
