| Abstract: | The solar cell industry is witnessing an era of unprecedented growth and this trend is set to continue for the foreseeable
future. Here we describe a heat reflection pigment-coated single-junction gallium arsenide solar cell that is capable of reflecting
heat-inducing near-infrared radiation. The cell maintains its performance better than non-coated cells when exposed to infrared-rich
radiant flux. In situations where solar cells get heated mainly from incident infrared radiation, these cells exhibit superior
performance. The heat reflecting pigment, cell structure, coating process and cell performance have been described.
