Abstract
High-throughput techniques have been applied to a small manufacturing demonstration of high-efficiency GaAs concentrator cells. A total of 14 wafers were grown and processed into 517 p/n GaAs concentrator solar cells designed for terrestrial operation at 1000 suns. The design, fabrication, and testing of these solar cells are described
