Multiband Solar Concentrator using Transmissive Dichroic Beamsplitting
Significant efficiency increases in photovoltaic power conversion are due to improved absorption over the broad spectrum of the sun. Semiconductors have an efficiency peak at a specific wavelength associated with the material band gap. The current trend towards high-efficiency photovoltaics involves multi-junction cells where several semiconductors are grown on top of one another creating a lay...
متن کاملPlanar micro-optic solar concentrator.
We present a new approach to solar concentration where sunlight collected by each lens in a two-dimensional lens array is coupled into a shared, planar waveguide using localized features placed at each lens focus. This geometry yields a thin, flat profile for moderate concentration systems which may be fabricated by low-cost roll manufacture. We provide analyses of tradeoffs and show optimized ...
متن کاملReliability of III-V concentrator solar cells
III-V concentrator solar cells are starting to be commercialized. However, no complete studies about their reliability have been carried out. A review about both the accelerated ageing tests and real time tests developed till now is presented. A proposal about the required tests is also done. In this stage, the tests show that III-V concentrator cells are robust devices with MTTFs well over the...
متن کاملGraded-index planar waveguide solar concentrator.
Planar waveguides are useful to transport, concentrate and distribute light uniformly over large dimensions. Their capacity to collect and gather light efficiently over a large distance is interesting for many applications, like backlighting and solar concentration. For these reasons, the possibility of making them even more efficient could be of considerable interest for the community. The obs...
متن کاملFresnel lens solar concentrator derivations and simulations
Fresnel lens solar concentrators continue to fulfill a market requirement as a system component in high volume cost effective Concentrating Photovoltaic (CPV) electricity generation. Design and optimization may be performed using comprehensive system simulation tools, but before investing in the effort to build a complete virtual model framework, much insight can be gathered beforehand by gener...
