The solar cell has an efficiency of 39.5% if operated on Earth and an efficiency of 34.2% if operated in space under 1‑sun illumination conditions, or the amount of energy we receive from a single sun. Developed using gallium indium phosphide, gallium arsenide, and gallium indium arsenide, the ... Not part of subscription
