Abstract

In this study, numerical optimization and analysis utilizing AMPS-1D software package of a simple model for tunnel junction (AlGaAs) between the top cell (AlGaAs) and bottom cell (SiGe) of cascade solar cells. The electrical properties and the photovoltaic performance parameters of AlGaAs/SiGe multijunction solar cells .The possible effects of base of the top cell layer thickness and doping level on solar cell performance parameters are addressed. The conversion efficiency of the solar cell has been found to increase significantly with the doping concentration in the range from 1015 to 1017 cm-3 of 19.52% to 31.19% under the AM1.5G spectrum and one sun. These results are very promising for future potential applications in multijunction and high performance AlGaAs/SiGe solar cells technology.
