Abstract

The series resistance of concentrator solar cells is determined by the processes of current spreading under the contact grid. The influence of the number of subcells in multi-junction solar cells on these processes is considered in the paper. Using the tube model of current spreading, it is shown that with the increase in the number of subcells, the current distribution of tubes becomes more uniform. This affects the shape of the IV-curve of the spreading resistance in such a way that the magnitude of the resistive losses at the maximum power point decreases.
