 note = {3-5 multi-junction solar cells have taken over the lead in today's solar cell market for space. Due to the significantly higher efficiencies and higher radiation hardness the higher manufacturing costs in comparison with silicon solar cells are overcompensated. However, the development of the current state-of-the-art triple-junction solar cell for space applications consisting of the material combination Ga(0.5)In(0.5)P/Ga(0.99)In(0.01)As/Ge has been driven close to its practical efficiency limits of 30 percent. In order to decrease the overall solar array costs further, new concepts have to be developed and investigated. The European Space Agency (ESA) follows different promising approaches which are firstly related to the increase of solar cell efficiencies. In addition, ways to reduce the cell thickness are investigated in order to bring down the specific power given in power/mass. Finally, larger cell areas could lead to cost savings in the integration process of the solar cells onto the panel substrate., 資料番号: AA0063997002, レポート番号: JAXA-SP-07-030},
