Theoretical efficiency limits of a 2 terminal dual junction step cell
In this paper we present theoretical analysis for upper efficiency limit of a novel 2 terminal dual junction stepcell. Results show that step cell design relaxes bandgap requirements for efficient tandem cell. While conventional tandem cell with optimized bandgap combination (1.64 / 0.96 eV) has the...
