Heterogeneous Integration of III-V Multijunction Solar Cells on Si Substrate: Cell Design and Modeling, Epitaxial Growth and Fabrication

Achieving high efficiency solar cells and concurrently driving down the cell cost has been among the key objectives for photovoltaic researchers to attain a lower levelized cost of energy (LCOE). While the performance of silicon (Si) based solar cells have almost saturated at an efficiency of ~25%,...
