IntroductionThis work describes a newly initiated undergraduate research work on new concept insolar energy capture. Recently reported photovoltaic efficiencies of novel solar terrestrialconcentrator cells have reached record levels. In fact, it is reported that metamorphic, orlattice-mismatched, GaInP/ GaInAs/ Ge 3-junction cells have reached 40.7% efficiency .Efficiency higher that 40% was also reported from measurements on lattice-matched 3-junction cells.

The students were to help monitor testing for the chemists, which they did not findparticularly interesting.
