A theoretical study of GaAs/GaInNAs solar cells based on multiple-quantum well solar cells (MQWSCs) and superlattice solar cell (SLSC) configuration is presented. The conversion efficiency as a function of the quantum well width and depth is modeled for MQWSC, reaching high values. A study of the SLSC viability is also presented.
The influence of the cluster width on the conversion efficiency is researched showing a better performance when width and the cluster number are increased. The SLSC conversion efficiency is compared with the maximum conversion efficiency obtained for the MQWSC showing that it is reached an amazing increment of 4%.
