GaInP/GaAs/Ge triple-junction solar cells were irradiated with 0.28, 0.62 and 2.80 MeV protons with fluences ranging from 1 x 10E10 cm(exp-2) to 1 x 10E13 cm(exp-2). Their performance degradation is analyzed using current-voltage characteristics and spectral response measurements. The degradation rates of the short circuit current, open circuit voltage, and maximum power output increase with fluence, but decrease with increasing proton energy. It was also observed that the spectral response of the GaAs middle cell degrades more significantly than that of the GaInP top cell.
