Abstract

The results of investigating third-generation matrix silicon solar cells with an efficiency of more than 25% during conversion of concentrated solar radiation are given. Electrical and optical characteristics are discussed. Modern technologies of semiconductor electronics and nanotechnology will soon allow increasing the efficiency of matrix silicon solar cells to 40%.
