Concentrator Photovoltaics: Not Just Solar Cells

Wednesday, March 18, 2015, 1 p.m. EDT

FREE WEBINAR


Dr. Antonio Luque
An efficiency of 46 percent has recently been achieved with four-junction solar cells under a concentration on the cell of 508 times the normal solar power flux on the Earth’s surface. Such high efficiencies are the driving force for the development of the concentrator photovoltaic (CPV) technology.
