摘要
In this paper, we have used detailed balance limit model in order to achieve optimum single junction solar cell for different outdoor conditions. Also, maximum achievable efficiency for GaAs-based double junction solar cells has been calculated and effects of the concentration ratio on optimum point have been investigated. Although 1.9/1.0 eV is achieved as the optimum combination of band gaps for double junction solar cells, but simulation results show some changes in value of top cell's optimum band gap when the GaAs is used as bottom cell. Finally, effect of changing temperature on behavior of GaAs-based double junction solar cell has been studied under 1sun black body, AM0 and AM1.5 spectrums.
