* AK-200 is a crystalline Si solar
cell with cover glass.
zz AK-120, AK-130, and AK-140 are the world's first reference PV cells exclusively for
3-junction solar cells.
zz AK-300 is the world's first reference PV cell exclusively for dye-sensitized solar cells.
Spectral sensitivity closely matches that of N-719 which is the typical dye used for dyesensitized solar cells.
