| 内容記述 | The 8-cm x 8-cm gridded back cell being developed for the space station photovoltaic array is described. Modeling studies show that the beginning of life power output of 1.039 W per cell may be met by several different configurations, the most promising being either a fielded or nonfielded 2 ohm-cm planar 8-mil cell. Experimental data are presented which show that a thermal alpha of 0.63 is achievable on a planar cell but at the expense of some Isc. Planar cells are found to possess short-circuit currents which are 9 percent lower than on textured cells due to the loss of near-IR radiation by transmission through the cell. Preliminary modeling shows that the efficiency of the textured cell exceeds the planar cell by approximately 9 percent at 25 C but the situation is reversed in orbit due to the high thermal alpha of textured cells (0.82). Experimental data show that the IR absorption in textured cells can be reduced by about 3 alpha points without loss of efficiency by controlling the doping concentration in the diffused layers, thus increasing the efficiency in orbit. |
