Description
Concentrator photovoltaic deals with the focussing of incident sunlight onto solar cells by employing relatively inexpensive optical elements in an attempt to reduce overall photovoltaic system cost. In this study a low concentrator photovoltaic module was designed and constructed to characterize the optics, electrical performance and thermal management.
