  • Abstract
    Experimental results of solar cells tested under deep space conditions are presented. The impact of low intensity and low temperature (LILT) conditions on the performance characteristics, in particular the fill factor, is discussed. The paper closes with a review of the elimination and mitigation of LILT effects by dedicated solar cell device design.
