Maxiumum Incident power on the cell

[spoonfeeder]

Hi
I have designed a dual junction(Multijunction) solar cell of thickness 10 microns and length 20 microns. In order to calculate its efficiency i need exact value of incident solar power i.e Pin for the above said structure.

I think what you asked for, is over my pay grade.

Put it in the sun, and see what you get.

I have designed that solar cell in Silvaco Atlas. Its a simulation work, not hardware.
These are the parameters obtained from IV graph:
Isc=9.25A
Voc=1.32V
Pmax=9.828W
FF=0.80
To find out efficiency i need Pin(Total Incident solar power) for the mentioned structure length and thickness.

Well mike you are not alone
I just asked the 4 electrical engineers here at work. and they all said . "get back to me later;;much later"

9.25a that is going to be hard to make a good wire/tab connection???

if you can actually construct? the cell then you can measure it with SP1065
Digital Solar Power Incidence Power Meter
BTU Meter

Emcore make triple junction cells.. at a kinda premium price.

Hi,thanks for sharing the information here.Really a good discussion is provided by you here.I appreciate your views here....
