The carrier dynamics under solar excitation in the third generation AlAs‐Ga 0.27 In 0.73 As quantum well solar cell on an InP substrate is theoretically investigated. The quantum well shows a significantly higher carrier occupation compared with that of a pure bulk sample. Furthermore, the influence of carrier scattering via the interaction with a bath of longitudinal optical phonons stemming from the substrate is taken into account, showing strong intraband and interband relaxation of the carrier distribution toward the lowest subband states.
