The theoretical efficiency limit of 29.4 % for single-junction crystalline Silicon (c-Si) solar cells is an insurmountable barrier that is being steadily approached within the last decades. Combining the Si cell with a second absorber material on top in a dual junction tandem or triple junction solar cell is an attractive option to surpass this limit significantly. We demonstrate a mechanically stacked GaInP//Si dual-junction cell with an in-house measured efficiency of 31.5 % and a GaInP/GaAs//Si triple-junction cell with a certified efficiency of 35.4±0.5 %
