Abstract

This paper describes a study of perimeter recombination on millimeter-scale multijunction photovoltaic cells using luminescence characterizations and a quasi-3D PV modeling. Device performance of controlled GaAs 1J cells shows an obvious perimeter dependency. By contrast, the performance of controlled InGaP 1J cells is less dependent on perimeters. Corresponding InGaP/GaAs 2J cells are assessed whose results exhibit combined contributions from both subcells. Luminescence method using current transport efficiency mapping and the PV modeling are able to reveal the influence of perimeter recombination and series resistance effect for individual subcells.
