Abstract

In this review article solar cells based on III-V materials are addressed, starting by a brief description of their operation principle, including key materials’ issues. Subsequently, the different types of III-V solar cells are presented, together with their state-of-the-art performance. Various approaches to reduce their costs are then discussed, and an outlook of the research in this field concludes the paper.
