Design and Construction of a One Kilowatt Concentrator Photovoltaic System.

摘要

The construction details of a system which uses Fresnel lenses to concentrate sunlight on silicon solar cells are described. The cells are cooled either passively by convection or actively using a pumped fluid coolant. Construction and operation of the array have disclosed several unique problems;future modifications and improved future designs are being considered. (ERA citation 03:002869)
