Abstract

The invention provides a multi-junction solar cell and power supply equipment. In at least one sub-cell, the average lattice constant of a sub-cell window layer is greater than a first lattice constant, and the mismatch degree of the average lattice constant of the sub-cell window layer and the first lattice constant is less than 1%. Therefore, the sub-cell window layer is made of a material whichis in lattice mismatch with the active region of the sub-cell so that the band gap of the sub-cell window layer is increased, sunlight absorption of the sub-cell window layer is reduced, a high potential barrier is formed, a reflection effect on minority carriers flowing to the sub-cell window layer is achieved, the collection efficiency of photon-generated carriers is finally improved and the performance of the multi-junction solar cell is improved.
