Analytical modelling, simulation and comparative study of multi-junction (GaInP2/InGaAs/Ge) solar cell efficiency
We present results obtained using MATLAB/Simulink to simulate, experimental data and manufacturer materials specifications of a solar energy generation system (GaInP2/InGaAs/Ge). The simulations were performed by adjusting essential parameters, such as the solar insolation, temperature, and parasiti...
