CHARACTERIZATION AND RELIABILITY CAMPAIGN OF ECOSOLE C-MODULES AND COMPONENTS

摘要

ECOSOLE is an European collaborative Project started in August 2012 that involves several industrial and institutional partners with the aim to develop a complete and innovative concentrating photovoltaic system. During the first two years of activity, many specific components as cells, optics, modules and tracker have been designed and developed. This work reports the description of these devices and the main results of the characterization campaigns carried out both indoor and outdoor conditions, in order to define their technical features as well as their performances. Particular attention has been paid to the investigation on the components reliability which is a crucial point for the CPV technology diffusion.
