Description:
Computer analysis was used to determine the AMO conversion efficiency of single-junction crystalline cells, two-cell and three-cell crystalline tandem structures operating under 100 suns and at 80 C. For optimally designed devices, the calculated efficiencies are 24% for single-junction cells, 33 to 35% for two-cell tandem structures, and 37 to 39% for three-cell tandem structures. Practical efficiencies are expected to be about 15 relative percentage points lower in each case.
