Qualification of 32% BOL and 28% EOL Efficient XTE Solar Cells
Abstract
An advanced version of the XTJ family of space solar cells called XTJ Targeted Environment (XTE) has passed AIAA S-111 cell level qualification at Spectrolab. The XTE SF (standard fluence) and HF (high fluence) variants have demonstrated an average AM0 efficiencies of 32.2% and 32.0% at standard test conditions respectively in the qualification build. The EOL efficiency post 1e15 e-/cm2, 1 MeV irradiation for the XTE-SF and HF are at 28%. The XTE LILT cells have also achieved a JPL validated BOL efficiency of 36% under AM0 9.5 AU, -165°C, Saturn conditions.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
