Another important issue is that in space, PV can be extremely thin. The actual active layer of semiconductor can be maybe 50 microns (for silicon) or less than 1 micron (for CdTe). This also suggests solar-powered electric propulsion in space can have high acceleration, limited by heat dissipation in the engine. |
