PV (Photovoltaics)-powered electric vehicles (PV-EV) are expected to contribute to creation of clean energy society based on PV because of effective reduction in CO2 emission of vehicles. The Toyota Prius and Nissan Van demonstration cars installed with Sharp’s high-efficiency 3-junction solar cell modules with an efficiency of more than 30% have demonstrated longer driving distance compared to the PV-EV installed with Si solar cell modules with an efficiency of around 20%. However, cost reduction of solar cell modules is also necessary and Si tandem solar cells are very attractive as high-efficiency and low-cost solar cells. This report presents analytical results for high-efficiency potential of Si tandem solar cells and our recent results for 34% InGaP/GaAs/Si 3-junction solar cells. It is shown in this study that longer driving distance of more than 30km/day average and more than 50km/day on clear day will be realized by developing high-efficiency solar cell modules with an efficiency of 35%. |
