  • Abstract
    The design of an 1kW concentrator test module and its outdoor measurement results at INER, Taiwan are presented. The PV receiver is formed on the base of InGaP/GaAs/Ge triple junction solar cells with an optical concentrating ratio about 100x. A module efficiency as high as 22.3% has been obtained under 850 W/m2 DNI with passive cooling
