Over the past 15 years, tremendous effort has been put forth into increasing the efficiency of multijunction solar cells used in concentrator photovoltaics (CPV) systems. Because the cell represents a small portion of the total CPV system cost, modest improvements in cell efficiencies have a large impact on reducing the levelized cost of electricity. To address the need for higher efficiency CPV cells, Solar Junction is currently manufacturing a lattice-matched multijunction solar cell that employs a 1 eV GaInNAsSb bottom subcell in lieu of the traditional Ge subcell. Our standard 5.5 mm(2) product has recently achieved a world record in power conversion efficiency. In this article, we report on the design, performance, and integration of this high-performance cell. The importance of overdriving the GaInNAsSb bottom subcell is discussed in addition to the optimization of the anti-reflection coating used for cells under glass secondary optics.
