P n junctions made of different semiconductor materials.
Multi junction solar cell ppt.
High efficiency multijunction devices use multiple bandgaps or junctions that are tuned to absorb a specific region of the solar spectrum to create solar cells having record efficiencies over 45.
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 efficiency.
