For the application in a concentrator
PV system, the influences of optical
elements and the operating
temperature of the cells have to be
considered. In the future the
development of multi-junction solar
cells may be more directed towards
a maximum power output of a
specific concentrator system rather
than increasing the cell performance
under the standard AM1.5d spectrum
at 25 °C. This will help III-V
semiconductors to be more
successful in the new solar
concentrator PV market with the
potential to become a major player in
the industry and to lower the cost of Above and right: Figure 5
