Abstract

The properties of p-GaAlAs/p-GaAs/n-GaAs heteroface solar cells were determined in the temperature range from 25 C to 350 C. Illumination air mass zero (AM0) current-voltage measurements show that the short circuit current increases as a function of temperature up to 210 C and then decreases up to 350 C. The open circuit voltage and fill factor decrease linearly with increasing temperature. The spectral response shifts toward higher wavelengths with increasing temperature.
