A stacked chalcopyrite thin‐film tandem solar cell with 1.2 V open‐circuit voltage

CuGaSe2 (CGS) thin films were prepared on tin-doped indium oxide (ITO) coated soda-lime glass substrates by thermal co-evaporation to fabricate transparent solar cells. The films consisted of columnar grains with a diameter of approximately 1 μm. Some deterioration of the transparency of the ITO was observed after deposition of the CGS film. The CGS solar cells were electrically connected in series with Cu(In,Ga)Se2 (CIGS) solar cells and mechanically stacked on the CIGS cells to construct tandem cells. The tandem solar cell with the CGS cell as the top cell showed an efficiency of 7.4% and an open-circuit voltage of 1.18 V (AM 1.5, total area). Copyright © 2003 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
