InGaP₂ is an indium gallium phosphide compound semiconductor belonging to the III-V ceramic family, engineered for optoelectronic and photovoltaic applications. It is primarily used in high-efficiency multijunction solar cells, laser diodes, and light-emitting devices where its direct bandgap and lattice-matching properties to GaAs substrates make it superior to many alternatives for converting between electrical and optical energy. The material is particularly valued in space power systems and concentrated photovoltaic (CPV) applications where efficiency and radiation tolerance are critical.
