Concentrator cells ... work with [great] light intensity. Mirrors and line systems are used to concentrate the radiation. To attain high energy yields, such concentrator systems have to track the sun. The greater series resistance under concentrated radiation poses a problem. Hence, concentrator cells have to be highly doped and equipped with especially low-loss contacts. 3, record 1, English, - concentrator%20solar%20cell

One of the important parameters, that commonly affect solar cell performances, in the series resistance. Such effect becomes more pronounced when working under higher illumination intensities due to higher generated photocurrents. Therefore,it is necessary to predict series resistance effects under such conditions. To know more about the series resistance effect and its interpretation, InGaP based solar cell performances were investigated, using high solar concentration levels (73.36 X, 201.19 X). 2, record 2, English, - concentration%20solar%20cell
