Abstract: Design and operation modes of double-junction monolithic lattice-matched solar cells based on the ZnSiP$_2$/Si system of materials have been calculated. The effect of the photoactive region thickness and minority carrier lifetime in ZnSiP$_2$ layers on the efficiency of conversion of the incident solar light energy into electrical power was determined. It is shown that solar cells based on ZnSiP$_2$/Si heterostructures can provide efficiencies of 28.8% at AM1.5D, 100 mW/cm$^2$, and 33.3% at AM1.5D, 200 W/cm$^2$.
