Abstract

A typical GalnP/GalnAs/Ge tandem solar cell structure operating under AM0 illumination is proposed, and the current-voltage curves are calculated for different recombination velocities at both front and back-surfaces of the three subcells by using a theoretical model including optical and electrical modules. It is found that the surface recombination at the top GaInP cell is the main limitation for obtaining high efficiency tandem solar cells.
