Semiconductor nanowires (NWs) are good candidate for light-absorbing material in next generation photovoltaic and III--V NW-based multi-heterojunction solar cells using lattice-mismatched material system are expected as high energy-conversion efficiencies under concentrated light. Here we demonstrate core--shell GaAs NW arrays by using catalyst-free selective-area metal organic vapor phase epitaxy (SA-MOVPE) as a basis for multijunction solar cells. The reflectance of the NW array without any anti-reflection coating showed much lower reflection than that of a planar wafer. Next we then fabricated core--shell GaAs NW array solar cells with radial p--n junction. Despite the low reflectance, the energy-conversion efficiency was 0.71% since a high surface recombination rate of photo-generated carriers and poor ohmic contact between the GaAs and transparent indium--tin-oxide (ITO) electrode. To avoid these degradations, we introduced an InGaP layer and a Ti/ITO electrode. As a result, we obtained a short-circuit current of 12.7 mA cm<sup>-2</sup>, an open-circuit voltage of 0.5 V, and a fill factor of 0.65 for an overall efficiency of 4.01%.
