The efficiency of a GaAs solar cell was 24.3 percent, which at the time was the best of any single-junction solar cell. This paper shows the variation of output power when subjected to a variety of irradiation at different locations in India When compared to the previous record efficiency of 24.3%, set by direct deposition of the III-V semiconductor layer on silicon, the efficiency of wafer-bonded silicon-on-gas-silicon (S-S) cells has increased to 34.1%. The maximum power per unit area (Pm) and open circuit voltage (Voc) of GaAs/Ge solar cells are also temperature dependent. Thin film cells are now more adaptable and less voluminous as a result. This semi-transparent solar glazing material is laminated onto windows in building-integrated photovoltaic systems. Because solar panels cannot work in these conditions, realistic solar arrays will produce less power per unit area. To make matters worse, we don’t account for losses caused by shadowing from electrical connections or the close proximity of solar cells on panels.
