Commercially available space solar cells are based around a triple junction architecture and deliver beginning of life (BOL) efficiencies of up to 30%. Augmenting this efficiency in a quad-junction configuration has proven challenging and led to a divergence in technological options ranging from lightweight and flexible 'Inverted Metamorphic' designs to rigid, substrate based dilute nitride approaches. Work is underway at UNSW in collaboration with industrial partners to further develop these technologies and demonstrate ultra-radiation hard solar cells, suitable for missions in high radiation environments.
