N2  - The three-terminal heterojunction bipolar transistor solar cell (HBTSC) concept enables the realization of a monolithic double-junction device with individual current extraction. We present an HBTSC realized by a heterojunction of GaInP and GaAs. The one-sun open-circuit voltage (V OC ) of the top and bottom junctions are 1.33 V and 0.99 V, respectively, while fill factors (FF) are above 80%. At one-sun illumination, reducing one junction's bias from V OC to maximum power point degrades the performance of the other junction only slightly (<; 0.5% efficiency loss). These results demonstrate the potential of the HBTSC concept to produce high-efficiency independently connected double-junction solar cells.
