6 FAQs about [Micro concentrated solar power]
Are micro-concentrator solar cells better than non-concentrated solar cells?
Micro-concentrator solar cells enable higher power conversion efficiencies and material savings when compared to non-concentrated solar cells, according to the article published in Scientific Reports 10, Article number: 14763 (2020).
Can concentrating photovoltaic mini modules be integrated into a space solar power system?
We present a detailed design treatment for a concentrating photovoltaic mini module subsystem with a specific power of up to 4.1 kW/kg for integration into a space solar power system. Concentrating designs are required to achieve specific power over 1 kW/kg with current high-efficiency III-V multijunction solar cells.
Can thin-film solar cells be used to produce micro-concentrator solar cells?
Typical fabrication of thin-film solar cells can be modified for efficient, high-throughput and parallel production of organized arrays of micro solar cells. Their combination with microlens arrays promises to deliver micro-concentrator solar modules with a similar form factor to present day flat-panel PV.
What is a concentrating solar system?
Concentrating designs are required to achieve specific power over 1 kW/kg with current high-efficiency III-V multijunction solar cells. The 15 sun, linear concentration concept detailed here reduces the system mass by replacing cell and radiation shield area with ultralight carbon fiber reinforced polymer (CFRP) optics.
Why do solar cells need a smaller concentrator?
Miniaturizing the concentrator and the solar cell offers the advantages of less absorption loss owing to the thinner concentrator, better heat dissipation from the solar cells, and a thinner module thickness, i.e., a lighter module weight, owing to the shorter focal length 42, 43.
How do we fabricate micro-concentrator solar cells?
The article by Paire et al. describes a proof-of-concept approach to fabricate micro-concentrator solar cells using co-evaporated CIGSe continuous layers in a standard device stack of Mo/CIGSe/CdS/ZnO/Al:ZnO/Au. A SiO 2 dielectric layer was inserted between the ZnO and Al:ZnO layers, and individual micro-cells were defined by photolithography.
