Potentials of InxGa1-xN photovoltaic tandems
Main Article Content
Abstract
During the past few years a great variety of multi-junction solar cells has been developed with the aim of a further increase in efficiency beyond the limits of single junction devices. In this work, the solar power conversion efficiency of InxGa1-xN based tandem solar cells was investigated. With this intention, one simulation of the spectral response and the current-voltage characteristic was carried out using a simulation program designed under ‘Visual Basic 5’ language for this reason. Our cal culation indicates that the attainable efficiency can be enhanced up to 34 % and 37% for tandems with double and triple junctions respectively, obtained under 1-sun AM1.5 illumination and at ambient temperature, using realistic material parameters. A comparison has been made of our results with those of other models.
