Abstract

Thick window pAl~0.7~Ga~0.3~As‐pGaAs‐nGaAs solar cells are reported being grown by forced cooling LPE. Device evaluation shows an 18% maximum conversion efficiency at room temperature.

A method for calculating cell conversion efficiency upon knowledge of internal collection efficiency, open circuit voltage and short circuit current is also devised.
