About
Jeremiah McNatt is a leading figure in space photovoltaic technology, with his work centered on advancing solar cell performance for extraterrestrial applications. His primary research focuses on the accurate measurement and evaluation of solar cells under air mass zero (AM0) conditions—the critical standard for space-based power systems. McNatt’s major contribution lies in the design and execution of the NASA Glenn Research Center solar cell experiment aboard the International Space Station, a pioneering effort that provided direct, in-orbit validation of next-generation photovoltaic technologies. This experiment, detailed in his most-cited paper (2016, 3 citations), established a benchmark for assessing cell efficiency and durability in the harsh space environment. Beyond this flagship work, McNatt has been instrumental in developing testing protocols that bridge laboratory simulations with real-world orbital performance, ensuring that emerging solar cells meet the rigorous demands of satellites and deep-space missions. His achievements include advancing the reliability of AM0 measurements, which are foundational to NASA’s power systems for exploration. For students and researchers, McNatt’s career exemplifies how precise experimental design can drive innovation in sustainable space energy, making him a key contributor to the future of off-world power generation.
