METHOD FOR CONFIGURING A MULTILAYER SPECTRAL-SEPARATION FILTER FOR PHOTOVOLTAIC AND THERMAL USES AND FILTER AND GENERATION PLANT ASSOCIATED WITH SAID METHOD

摘要

A selective multilayer filter is configured for spectral separation of solar radiation. The filter is suitable to be disposed on photovoltaic panels for use in energy generation plants. The multilayer filter includes layers of different refractive indices and thicknesses. A method for configuring the selective multilayer filter for spectral separation of solar radiation includes performing a series of steps to configure multilayer filter such that photovoltaic and thermal efficiency is maximized. Also disclosed are the multilayer filter configured using the method and a plant for generating energy by harnessing solar energy, using at least one multilayer filter configured using the method.
