These space activities require a cost-effective, sustainable source of onboard energy, such as solar photovoltaics. Traditionally, space photovoltaic technology is based on group III–V materials (such as gallium arsenide with indium phosphide and germanium for multi-junction cells) due to their high performance and radiation resistance.
Solar cells (SCs) are the most ubiquitous and reliable energy generation systems for aerospace applications. Nowadays, III–V multijunction solar cells (MJSCs) represent the standard commercial technology for powering spacecraft, thanks to their high-power conversion efficiency and certified reliability/stability while operating in orbit.
A solar cell is a common energy source for aerospace applications. Traditionally these are high-cost, high-efficiency, high-fidelity III-V or silicon-based devices. In this chapter we present an overview of a variety of solar cells with potential to perform in niche aerospace applications at lower costs without sacrificing performance or power.
