21 Future plans 4+ junctions for 50% conversion efficiency 21
22 Conclusions Defects influence remarkably on solar cell performance background doping, depletion region width nonradiative recombination, carrier lifetimes, diffusion lengths Defect density / properties is sensitive to fabrication parameters, materials compositions, thermal annealing With careful optimization, dilute nitride does not limit the current in GaInP/GaAs/dilute nitride 3-junction solar cell Dilute nitride multijunction solar cells has potential to reach very high conversion efficiencies under concentrated sunlight as well as at AM0 conditions when accompanied with high quality top junctions 22
