Enhancement of Upconversion for Photovoltaics with β- NaYF4:Er 3+ and Concentrating Integrated Optics
The internal photoluminescence quantum yield of -NaYF4:Er 3+ is determined under broadband excitation and a photovoltaic-upconverter system with concentrating integrated optics is proposed to enhance the near-infrared response of silicon solar cells. OCIS codes: (190.7220) Upconversion, (220.1770) Concentrators; (350.6050) Solar energy
متن کاملTracking integration in concentrating photovoltaics using laterally moving optics.
In this work the concept of tracking-integrated concentrating photovoltaics is studied and its capabilities are quantitatively analyzed. The design strategy desists from ideal concentration performance to reduce the external mechanical solar tracking effort in favor of a compact installation, possibly resulting in lower overall cost. The proposed optical design is based on an extended Simultane...
متن کاملPositional irradiance measurement: characterization of spectrum- splitting and concentrating optics for photovoltaics
Multijunction photovoltaics enable significantly improved efficiency over their single junction analogues by mitigating unabsorbed sub-bandgap photons and voltage loss to carrier thermalization. Lateral spectrum-splitting configurations promise further increased efficiency through relaxation of the latticeand current-matching requirements of monolithic stacks, albeit at the cost of increased op...
متن کاملTailored free-form optics with movement to integrate tracking in concentrating photovoltaics.
The economic use of high-efficiency solar cells in photovoltaics requires high concentration of sunlight and therefore precise dual-axis tracking of the sun. Due to their size and bulkiness, these trackers are less adequate for small- to mid-scale installations like flat rooftops. Our approach to combine concentrating and tracking of sunlight utilizes two laterally moving lens arrays. The prese...
متن کاملWide-angle planar microtracking for quasi-static microcell concentrating photovoltaics.
Concentrating photovoltaics offer a way to lower the cost of solar power. However, the existing paradigm based on precise orientation of large-area concentrator modules towards the Sun limits their deployment to large, open land areas. Here, we explore an alternate approach using high-efficiency microcell photovoltaics embedded between a pair of plastic lenslet arrays to demonstrate quasi-stati...
