TERRESTRIAL PHOTOVOLTAIC POWER SYSTEMS WITH SUNLIGHT CONCENTRATION Annual Progress Report for Period January 1, 1975 to December 31, 1975

摘要

This annual report is for the second year of a program to investigate the characteristics of the components and the total system usin3 sunlight concen¬trated onto solar cells. The second year was primarily to experimentally investigate the conclusions of the first year of analytical studies.nCells have been fabricated that are designed for different intensities. Typically the efficiency of a cell will increase from its 11X at AMI peek to efficiency at the designed concentration level and return to its initial efficiency at about 3 times its designed concentration level, the developed cells have been tested under high intensity simulators and in concentrated sunlight and have shown to have the predicted response.
