✦ Synopsis
In this study we have combined a method of calculating radiation induced damage to solar cells using Non!Ionizing Energy Loss "NIEL#\ with models of Earth orbiting radiation in arbitrary orbits\ to assess the lifetime of solar cells[ This paper provides a comparison of the NIEL technique to results from the JPL Radiation Handbook\ and to actual space experimental damage results[ In addition\ we discuss ways of extending the calculation to newer solar cell materials\ as well as environ! ments outside of the Earth|s orbit[
