Determination of the subcell photovoltage in multijunction solar cells via voltage-dependent capacitance analysis

The letter describes a method for determining the photovoltage, i.e., the quasifermi level splitting at open-circuit conditions, associated with each subcell in a series connected multijunction solar cell structure by voltage-dependent capacitance analysis. Experimental verification and accuracy analysis of subcell photovoltage determination is provided for a 6-tuple AlGaInP/GaInP/AlGaInAs/GaInAs/GaInNAs/Ge solar cell device.
