  • Abstract
    In this paper, R&D of a solar thermophotovoltaic (STPV) system is reported. Two types of TPV modules have been developed and tested under concentrated sunlight. Temperatures as high as 1800°C were obtained in a 12 mm dia and 15 mm length emitter, illuminated by a 0.45 m2 pseudoparabolic facet mirror with a secondary quartz lens (4000× concentration ratio). Analysis of various parameters, influencing the overall performance of the developed STPV is presented.
