TL;DR: A prototype lightweight (1.5 kg/m) tile structure capable of photovoltaic solar power capture, conversion to radio frequency power, and transmission through antennas is demonstrated.

TL;DR: In this paper, an integrated holographic optical element is used to split the incoming solar spectrum into four different spectral bands, each diffracted onto the appropriate subcell, and a preliminary design for this holographic spectrum splitter composed of twelve simple, commercially available holograms predicts an achievable 76.1% optical efficiency and 37.9% two-terminal module efficiency.

TL;DR: The fabrication of a wafer-scale dislocation-free, fully relaxed single crystalline template for epitaxial growth is demonstrated and the ability to control the lattice parameter and energy band structure of single layer crystalline compound semiconductors in an unprecedented way is demonstrated.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present a detailed design treatment for a concentrating photovoltaic mini module subsystem with a specific power of up to 4.1kW/kg for integration into a space solar power system.

TL;DR: In this paper, the effects of high energy electron and proton radiation on perovskite solar cells were investigated, and it was shown that perovsites have superior electron andproton radiation tolerance and hold particular promise for space applications.
