Z4J

Our newest space solar
cell technology
  • 4-junction n-on-p solar cell on germanium substrate
  • Superior radiation hardness and temperature performance compared to other Germanium based solar cells
  • 30.0% Minimum Average Efficiency for a typical GEO Telecom Mission, Z4J produces ~7% greater EOL power than ZTJ
  • Fully qualified to the AIAA-S111-2014 Qualification and Characterization Standard.
