Abstract
Tandem solar cells are a new type of solar cells that are currently being developed. Soms proporties of these solar cells are variable. In this scription, it is studied how genetic algoritms can be applied to optimize these tandem solar cells. Genetic algoritms are algorithms that find a good solution using the principles of evolution theory. It is studied what the influences are of several choices. In this way, this scription gives which genetic algorithms should be applied in several situations. Hereby, it provides insight in how genetic algorithms can be applied to optimize genetic algorithms.
