In order to make CPV (Concentrated Photovoltaic) technology a real alternative to conventional generation of electricity, it is necessary to gain knowledge about its real outdoor operation by using a wide experimental basis. This basis makes it possible to analyze the electrical performance of...

Seven configurations of Photovoltaic (PV) energy conversion systems were investigated and their performances compared to direct solar PV conversion. The systems involved use of filters, concentrator lens, fiber transport, and direct use of PV. Transmission of concentrated light onto PV cell...
