Abstract
This paper gives a review of the research efforts at Fraunhofer ISE and the industrialization status at AZUR SPACE Solar Power in respect to III-V-based triple-junction solar cells. These cells are used in space environment and in terrestrial concentrator systems. AZUR space cells based on the lattice-matched concept have reached efficiencies of up to 30.6 %. Furthermore, they exhibit exceptional radiation hardness. EOL efficiencies of up to 25.8 % after irradiation with 1 x 1015 1 MeV electrons/cm² have been reached. In regard to terrestrial application in concentrator systems Fraunhofer ISE has developed metamorphic triple-junction solar cells reaching an efficiency of 41.1 % at 454 suns. The development of a suitable buffer and tunnel diode structure for the metamorphic growth approach is discussed in this paper.
