Multi-junction solar cell
OverviewDescriptionMaterialsPerformance improvementsFabricationComparison with other technologiesApplicationsSee also
Multi-junction (MJ) solar cells are solar cells with multiple p–n junctions made of different semiconductor materials. Each material''s p–n junction will produce electric current in response to different wavelengths of light. The use of multiple semiconducting materials allows the absorbance of a broader range of wavelengths, improving the cell''s sunlight to electrical energy conversion effici
