Abstract
In this paper the designs of multi-junction solar cells for very high energy conversion efficiencies are reviewed. We highlight the importance of the concept of multi-junction solar devices and its superiority compared to other photovoltaic technologies. We present different types of multi-junction structures, and address the different electrical configurations used in various multi-junction designs.
