Inverted Metamorphic III–V Triple-Junction Solar Cell with a 1 eV CuInSe2 Bottom Subcell

A new triple-junction solar cell (3J) design exploiting the highly absorptive I–III–VI chalcopyrite CuInSe2 material is proposed as an alternative to III–V semiconductor 3J solar cells. The proposed structure consists of GaInP (1.9 eV)/Ga(In)As (1.4 eV)/CuInSe2 (1 eV) which can be grown on a GaAs s...
