Abstract

Three-terminal tandem (3TT) solar cells can overcome some of the limitations of two- and four-terminal tandem designs. However, the coupled nature of the cells adds a degree of complexity to the devices themselves and the ways that their performance can be measured and reported. To facilitate understanding, we have developed a taxonomy which encompasses all types of 3TT devices, enabling a common nomenclature for discussing devices and performance. Once the physical devices, contact nodes, and loading circuitry have been self-consistently described, it becomes apparent that a wide range of 3TT devices share a common set of design and operating principles.
