A Belgian-Canadian research team claims to have found a way to develop gallium arsenide (GaAs) solar cells at a lower cost while maintaining high power conversion efficiencies. The scientists said ...

The cell was built with texturing and a ... States has developed a III–V silicon epitaxial tandem solar cell based on gallium arsenide phosphide (GaAsP). It claims that the cell offers improved ...

The following table shows the characteristics of other type of materials used in the fabrication of solar cell. Advantages: Electrons have longer lifetimes and the material generates current easily.

Disadvantages: Gallium arsenide has no natural insulating layer to prevent impurities from shorting the cell. It is also expensive. Selenium is expensive and difficult to obtain and therefore too ...
