AI Customer ServiceSpace Photovoltaics: Central to the collection, focusing on the development and application of photovoltaic technologies specifically designed for use in space. 2. High-Efficiency Solar Cells: Emphasizing the innovation of solar cells with enhanced efficiency to maximize energy generation in the limited space available on spacecraft and satellites.
Due to a unique set of intrinsic properties (i.e. high specific power, tunable absorption window, flexibility, foldability, ) in combination with processing possibilities in space, organic and perovskite solar cells have the potential of becoming a disruptive technology for photovoltaic energy generation in space applications.
Photovoltaics for space applications has to fulfill a number of very stringent requirements.
Thus, solar cells for space applications have to demonstrate that they are robust towards these environmental conditions. Furthermore, there is usually no possibility to repair solar arrays once they are launched. This places very strict requirements to the reliability of solar cells.
Traditionally, space photovoltaic technology is based on group III–V materials (such as gallium arsenide with indium phosphide and germanium for multi-junction cells) due to their high performance and radiation resistance. However, they are costly (>US$70 W –1 or >US$10,000 m –2).
To promote the commercial applications of perovskite solar cells into space, the challenges like light instability, thermal cycling stress and vacuum-induced issues are discussed. The technical advantages like radiation tolerance, high specific power and upscaling potential are highlighted. An outlook on the future development is given. 1.
