| Description | Programs aimed at developing large area, high efficiency GaAs heteroface cells for low concentration space applications and high concentration terrestrial applications as well as other programs aimed at developing high efficiency multicolor devices for use in similar applications are described. An additional program aimed at achieving improved power to weight ratio by parting thin film solar cells from their growth substrates prior to their incorporation into an array assembly is also described. There is potential for multiple reuse of the substrates which could lead to reduced costs for such devices. Highlights of these programs and their interrelated contributions toward the goals of reducing specific weight, volume and cost of photovoltaic space power systems are discussed. Overall goals are summarized and current programs and their funding sources are listed. |
