Power rating and energy yield of hybrid CPV/flat-plate PV modules

This article summarizes the IEC compliant power rating procedure applied to a hybrid CPV/PV module of EyeCon technology which uses III-V four-junction CPV cells in combination with bifacial c-Si PV cells. The combined output both solar cell types at standard test conditions reached 342 W/m2, corresponds world record efficiency 34.2% for conversion reference AM1.5g spectrum. For first time, we present annual energy yield 4J six climate zones defined 61853-4. When comparing highest electrical generation between conventional and flat-plate modules, found that delivers maximum surplus 20% temperate continental climate.
