We report on the progress in developing lattice-matched GaAs-based solar cells with focus on developing AlGaInP, AlGaAs, and GaInNAsSb materials, aiming at achieving a wide spectral coverage, that is, 0.7-2.2 eV. To this end, we first benchmark the performance of an upright four-junction GaInP/GaAs/GaInNAsSb/GaInNAsSb solar cells grown by molecular beam epitaxy on p-GaAs substrates with bandgaps of 1.88, 1.42, 1.17, and 0.93 eV, respectively. The four-junction cell exhibited an efficiency of similar to 39% at 560-sun illumination while showing good electrical performance even up to 1000 suns. As a first step to further improve the efficiency toward 50% level, we demonstrate AlGaInP (>2 eV) and GaInNAsSb (
