Modeling of operating temperature performance of triple junction solar cells using Silvaco's ATLAS

The inefficiency of solar cells due to high operating temperatures presents a growing issue for the spacecraft industry. Currently, the problem is solved by accepting the manufactured designs and compensating for losses with larger solar arrays. Building upon prior thesis work at the Naval Postgr...
