Textured Solar Arrays for Enhanced Low-Angle Light Collection on High-Altitude Pseudo-Satellites

Robert McCarthy;Chris Youtsey;Ray Chan;Ian Witting;Paul Stevens;Steve Tate;Noren Pan

2024 IEEE 52nd Photovoltaic Specialist Conference (PVSC)
Year: 2024 | Conference Paper |
High Altitude Pseudo-Satellites (HAPS) are fixed wing, heavier-than-air solar electric aircraft that operate continuously for multiple months in the stratosphere. They are energy selfsufficient, highly automated, low signature, with low vulnerability to attack. MicroLink Devices’ inverted metamorphic (IMM) multijunction epitaxial lift-off (ELO) solar cell technology is the basis for advanced thin-...Show More

2020 47th IEEE Photovoltaic Specialists Conference (PVSC)
Year: 2020 | Conference Paper |
Cited by: Papers (3)
MicroLink has developed highly flexible solar sheets that exhibit high specific power and are suitable for stratospheric flight applications. Here we present reliability test data as well as actual stratospheric flight data of these solar sheets. Data from the 24-hour high-altitude balloon flight that was performed in September 2019 out of Baltic, SD at an altitude of 19km showed peak power output...Show More

Screen Printed Silver Contacts on III-V Bulk Pseudomorphic and Lifted Off Thin Film Foils for High Volume Low Cost Solar Cell Manufacturing

David R. Rowell;Joshua D Wood;Christopher L. Stender;Ray Chan;Andree Wibowo;Mark Osowski;Noren Pan

2020 47th IEEE Photovoltaic Specialists Conference (PVSC)
Year: 2020 | Conference Paper |
Cited by: Papers (1)
MicroLink Devices has deposited screen printed silver contacts on bulk pseudomorphic InGaAs and for the first time on epitaxial thin film foils. MicroLink has achieved contact resistances of 1E-6 Ohms·cm-2 on bulk InGaAs, and 4E-2 Ohms·cm-2 on solar cell foils. Ink formulations with tin are also explored. This work shows an alternative, low-cost, and high-throughput method for contacting III-V sol...Show More
