Passive cooling based secondary concentrator for solar concentrating photovoltaic (cpv) system for uniform flux distribution and effective cooling

摘要

The invention relates to a solar concentrating photovoltaic system having specifically an active system and a passive system along with reflective and refractive means based on optical elements. With this system there is a primary concentrator, a secondary concentrator and a junction cell whereby fresenel lens can be used as primary concentrator, compound parabolic collector may be used as secondary concentrator and a lll-V triple-junction along with an optical homogenizer which enables an extraction of synergy from entire solar spectrum.
