GaSb-Based Solar Cells for Full Solar Spectrum Energy Harvesting
DOI: 10.1002/aenm.201700345 conversion efficiency. Devices comprising these alloys (and, in some cases, the group IV element, germanium) have held the world record for conversion efficiency under concentrated sunlight for more than the last thirty years with steady increases in efficiency year-on-year.[2] Efficiency improvements result from many aspects of MJSC design, but among the most import...
متن کاملThe Helium spectrum in erupting solar prominences
Even quiescent solar prominences may become active and sometimes erupt. These events are occasionally linked to coronal mass ejections. However we know very little about the plasma properties during the activation and eruption processes. We present new computations of the helium line profiles emitted by an eruptive prominence. The prominence is modelled as a plane-parallel slab standing vertica...
متن کاملRole of spectral non-idealities in the design of solar thermophotovoltaics.
To bridge the gap between theoretically predicted and experimentally demonstrated efficiencies of solar thermophotovoltaics (STPVs), we consider the impact of spectral non-idealities on the efficiency and the optimal design of STPVs over a range of PV bandgaps (0.45-0.80 eV) and optical concentrations (1-3,000x). On the emitter side, we show that suppressing or recycling sub-bandgap radiation i...
متن کاملReflection hologram solar spectrum-splitting filters
In this paper we investigate the use of holographic filters in solar spectrum splitting applications. Photovoltaic (PV) systems utilizing spectrum splitting have higher theoretical conversion efficiency than single bandgap cell modules. Dichroic band-rejection filters have been used for spectrum splitting applications with some success however these filters are limited to spectral control at fi...
متن کاملDevelopment of Crystalline Germanium for Thermophotovoltaics and High-Efficiency Multi-Junction Solar Cells
Acknowledgements Working as a PhD student at Fraunhofer ISE in Freiburg was a very rewarding and challenging experience for me. During all these years, many people have supported me in this endeavour. I can hardly imagine the success of this work without these people. Here is a small tribute to all them: First of all, I want to thank Prof. Gerhard Willeke for accepting me as one of his students...
