Terrestrial photovoltaic is dominated by Silicon based devices. For this type of solar cells, the theory predicts an efficiency limit of 29%. With photovoltaic modules showing 26.6% efficiency already, Silicon-based modules is a mature technology and harvest almost their full potential. In this work, we intend to explore another path toward the enhancement of photovoltaic conversion efficiency. Tandem solar cells that consist in stacking sub-cells, allow to overcome the Si efficiency limit. Since solar cells made of III-V semiconductors are complementary to Silicon solar cells, theory predicts that efficiency above 40% is attainable when combining those types of cells. Here we focus on the elaboration of a performant III-V solar cell, compa...
