Adding a low-cost silicon solar cell to the CPV module with fresnel solar concentration, and an adjoining triple-junction solar cell fabricated and experimented with a demonstration.
In the CPV module, the low-cost solar cell captures diffuse solar radiation penetrates the fresnel concentrator lens, and the triple-junction cell captures concentrated solar radiation.
The test results show that the power generated by a Fresnel lens-based CPV module with the silicon solar cell added more significant than that of the conventional CPV module by factor average of 1.5 or higher depending on the solar cell and lens.
