Multi-junction solar cell integrating radiative cooler
The triple-junction solar cell is based upon indium gallium phosphide (InGaP), gallium arsenide (GaAs), as well as Germanium (Ge) and is made with a micro-grating made from glass, consisting of a two-dimensional x-framework structure repaired onto the surface of the solar cell. Its operating temperature level was found to be 6 degrees Celsius lower than that of a recommendation cell without the cooling technique.
