High Efficiency GaAs Solar Cell Development.

Abstract

The major goals of the High Efficiency Gallium Arsenide (GaAs) Solar Cell program have been met. An AM0 efficiency of 17.5 percent was achieved. During the second phase of the program, was optimized to improve radiation resistance of the cell without loss of efficiency, thus improving the suitability of the cell for space missions.
