PHOTOVOLTAIC MICROCELL ARRAY WITH MULTI-STAGE CONCENTRATING OPTICS

摘要

The present invention is primarily directed to reducing the cost of photovoltaic systems in general, and high-concentration photovoltaic systems in particular, through reducing the cost of concentrating light to the high-concentration needed to make ultra-efficient cells affordable, reducing the cost of interconnecting and cooling the photovoltaic cells, and increasing the optical and electrical efficiency of the photovoltaic system as a whole.
