Abstract
Photovoltaic generation system would be steadily growing up worldwide. To fulfil the growing demand of solar energy in future, not only silicon-based technology but also other technologies development including III-V compound cells is essential. Concentrator type photovoltaic system will make a key role especially in the areas where direct sun irradiation is abundant. Technological breakthrough to overcome some of obstacles in dissemination of concentrator type photovoltaic system until now is getting ready and further electricity generation cost reduction by concentrator photovoltaic system is expected. Depending on the installation conditions, most suitable type of photovoltaic system needs to be selected, considering technological and economical performance
