Abstract

We report on the fabrication and characterization of Ge solar cells on glass realized by layer transfer and epitaxial regrowth. These devices exhibit typical conversion efficiency exceeding 2.4% under AM1.5 irradiation and maximum efficiency of 3.7% under concentrated excitation. This approach enables flexible and affordable multi-junction engineering for solar energy conversion.
