First principle simulations show that an efficiency of 2.3% can be achieved for 88% Ge concentration Ge:Si solar cells below Si at 30 suns. Through solving critical shunting and open circuit voltage (Voc) problems, an efficiency of 0.79% with a Voc of 350 mV and a fill factor (FF) of 66% was achieved for our third generation Ge:Si solar cells below Si at 30 suns.
