摘要
The experiments of the GaInP/GaAs/Ge triple junction solar cells (3JSCs) irradiated by 1MeV and 10 MeV electrons at the electron accelerator facility were presented. The radiation effects on the GaInP/GaAs/Ge 3JSCs induced by different energy electrons at high fluence up to 5 x 10(16) e/cm(2) were investigated. The I-V curves degraded with the increasing electron fluence were presented. The degradations of the radiation sensitive parameters such as the open-circuit voltage (V-oc), the short-circuit current (I-sc), the maximum power (P-max), and the external quantum efficiency versus electron fluence were analyzed. The degradations of the V-oc, I-sc, and P-max induced by 1MeV and 10 MeV electrons were compared. The annealing tests after electron irradiation about 3 months show no obvious recovery. The degradation mechanisms of the radiation sensitive parameters are also demonstrated.
