Abstract :
The greatest barrier to the proliferation of solar cells has been in the level of efficiency attainable. The development of the tandem-type cell, with an efficiency of 8.6% for a 100 cm2 device, has been a major step forward over previous single-junction types. This article highlights the efficiency of this, advance and the low degradation and high yields attainable.
