The lensed high-voltage vertical multijunction solar cell

The vertical multijunction solar cell with covering lens is a photovoltaic device which promises high-voltage, high-efficiency outputs. The structure described here is a modification of a structure previously reported. It is shown that the original high-voltage vertical multijunction solar cell is capable of high voltages but not high efficiencies. The solar cell described here is capable of higher efficiencies, but a more detailed analysis than presented here is necessary before a comparison between this cell and a conventional solar cell can be made.
