Concentrator photovoltaics

OverviewChallengesHistoryOngoing research and developmentEfficiencyOptical design TypesReliability

Modern CPV systems operate most efficiently in highly concentrated sunlight (i.e. concentration levels equivalent to hundreds of suns), as long as the solar cell is kept cool through the use of heat sinks. Diffuse light, which occurs in cloudy and overcast conditions, cannot be highly concentrated using conventional optical components only (i.e. macroscopic lenses and mirrors). Filtered light, which occurs in hazy or polluted conditions, has spectral variations which produce mismatches between the electric

Fundamental principles of concentrating solar power (CSP) systems

A concentrating solar power (CSP) system can be presented schematically as shown in Fig. 2.1. All systems begin with a concentrator; the various standard configurations of trough, linear Fresnel, dish
