Designing anti-reflective microlens arrays for space solar cells

In this study, a design for developing an anti-reflective microlens array is presented to increase the performance of multi-junction solar cells for satellite power systems. In line with the findings obtained, it was determined that the designed anti-reflective microlens arrays for space application provided a total increase of 5.9% in the amount of the current generated from solar cells and that the mass of a unit cell was 0.585 g, and it was concluded that they have the potential to be developed in terms of mass and performance for satellite platforms.
