Solar cells used in high concentration CPV systems are typically multijunction solar cells made up of III-V semi conductors. Cells have to be mounted on a carrier (Cell-on-Carrier: CoC) that usually includes a bypass diode. In many designs, CoC is mounted onto a heatsink in order to properly dissipate and remove heat.
Essentially, this handbook gathers, in one place, a comprehensive review of all scienti c fi background around Concentrator Photovoltaics (CPV) as well as detailed descriptions of the technology and engineering developed to design, build and manufacture CPV systems and plants.
Concentrator Photovoltaics (CPV) is one of the most promising technologies to produce solar electricity at competitive prices. High performing CPV systems with efficiencies well over 30% and multi-megawatt CPV plants are now a reality.
