Photovoltaics for space applications
摘要
The expanding reliance on spacecraft for terrestrial telecommunications, high-resolution Earth observation, and deep-space exploration has significantly increased the demand for innovative electrical power generation systems for deployment in space. These systems must be robust with high specific power (Wp g−1), stowed power density (Wp m−3), and output durability at a low cost. Photovoltaic technologies are excellent candidates for harvesting energy in this harsh environment.
