Resumo

High efficiency solar cells working under ultra-high concentrations (>;1000X) have been shown to be a promising solution to decrease the cost of PV electricity, increase the efficiency and circumvent the material availability restrictions for massive PV penetration. A detailed analysis of the limitations of our current triple junction solar cell (36.2% at 700X), in the quest to maximize efficiency at 1000X, shows that the main improvements to tackle are: a) implementation of a high band gap tunnel junction; b) increase the band gap of the top cell; c) fine current matching tune; d) enhancement of the front contact process. This constitutes our roadmap to reach an efficiency over 41%
