摘要：

Results of a cost study for concentrator systems are discussed. In this context it is concluded that high-concentration and high-efficiency solar cells are beneficial for lowering the cost of PV produced energy. MOVPE-grown Ga0.35In0.65P/Ga0.63In0.17As monolithic tandem cells are developed for the application in such high-concentration systems. These solar cell structures are grown lattice mismatched on GaAs substrates. An efficiency of > 31 % at 300x AM1.5d and around 30 % at a 1000x concentration was measured. An all-glass test module with an aperture area of 64 cm(2) was built up and showed an efficiency of > 24 % measured under outdoor conditions. The module has a geometrical concentration factor of 123. This result can be further improved by increasing the concentration ratio and optimizing the cell structure.
