This review attempts to give a brief review on different types of space solar cells and emphasize the high energy particle irradiation effects of solar cells and recent results on the most promising types of solar cells, including dilute nitride, metamorphic, mechanical stack, and wafer bonding multi-junction solar cells.
Space solar cells are designed and tested under an air mass zero (AMO) spectrum. This is in contrast to an air mass 1.5 as reduced by 1.5 times the spectral absorbance of the earth's atmosphere, which is the standard condition for testing terrestrial solar cells.
This is in contrast to an air mass 1.5 as reduced by 1.5 times the spectral absorbance of the earth's atmosphere, which is the standard condition for testing terrestrial solar cells. Thus, cells intended for use in space will be optimized for a somewhat different spectrum.
Solar cells (SCs) are the most ubiquitous and reliable energy generation systems for aerospace applications. Nowadays, III–V multijunction solar cells (MJSCs) represent the standard commercial technology for powering spacecraft, thanks to their high-power conversion efficiency and certified reliability/stability while operating in orbit.
Crystalline silicon solar cell-based panels were used earlier to power satellites. At present, space solar arrays use III–V compound-based multijunction solar cells. Each solar cell has germanium, gallium indium arsenide, and gallium indium phosphide junction layers monolithically grown on a Ge wafer.
