GALLIUM ARSENIDE SOLAR CELL SYSTEM ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE A solar cell array (48) utilizing geometrically alternating, laterally disposed N-on-P and P-on-N gallium arsenide solar cells (26, 70) is disclosed. Improved array efficiency is achieved by placing adjacent solar cells in substantial contact with each other and eliminating bus connections (46) on the top surfaces. This is accomplished by providing the solar cells with a lateral cross-sectional configuration of a parallelogram with the N-on-P solar cells (26) slanted in one lateral direction and the P-on-N solar cells (10) slanted in the opposited direction. The top surfaces of adjacent, contacting solar cells are electrically connected by extending a connector grid (58) across the top surfaces. Strip connectors (60) are used to join the bases of adjacent solar cells.
