  • In this paper, modifying the spectral p-n junction model theoretical efficiencies have been calculated for a GaInP2/GaAs/Ge multijunction solar cell for AM1.5 global and AM1.5 direct normal under 1 sun condition. Base on these efficiencies, performance of this solar cell is analyzed. It has been seen that thinning the thickness of top cell, increases the efficiency. Increasing the bandgap and sun concentration would increase the efficiency. These theoretical efficiencies of GaInP2/GaAs/Ge multijunction solar cell have been achieved upto 38.16%% for AM1.5G, and 41.38% for AM1.5D under 1 sun condition respectively due to thinning the top cell thickness.
