Evaluating the effect of dislocation on the photovoltaic performance of metamorphic tandem solar cells
Science China Technological Sciences(2010)
摘要
The photovoltaic conversion efficiency for monolithic GaInP/GaInAs/Ge triple-junction cell with various bandgap combination (300 suns, AM1.5d) was theoretically calculated. An impressive improvement on conversion efficiency was observed for a bandgap combination of 1.708, 1.194, and 0.67 eV. A theoretical investigation was carried out on the effect of dislocation on the metamorphic structure’s efficiency by regarding dislocation as minority-carrier recombination center. The results showed that only when dislocation density was less than 1.6×10 6 cm −2 , can this metamorphic combination exhibit its efficiency advantage over the fully-matched combination. In addition, we also briefly evaluated the lattice misfit dependence of the dislocation density for a group of metamorphic triple-junction system, and used it as guidance for the choice of the proper cell structure.
