Our report will focus on the 'R&D platform of the next-generation photovoltaic device for space application' consortium, a key initiative supported by the JAXA Space Strategy Fund's Space Transformation (SX) R&D project. Through this project, we are dedicated to advancing high-efficiency solar cells by developing multi-junction structures and a Concentrator Unit for Satellites, designed to integrate newly developed advanced high-efficiency solar cells. In this presentaton, we will provide an overview of the foundational 8-year research and development plan.
