Abstract

Micro concentrator photovoltaics (micro-CPV or μ-CPV) involves reducing the size of components in conventional CPV systems to lower costs while maintaining high conversion efficiencies of over 30%. This miniaturization of optics leads to significant material savings, which in turn enables novel optical approaches that were previously not feasible. Additionally, it allows for parallel manufacturing processes, such as roll-to-plate, to further reduce costs. In this proceeding, we present a collection of these optical technologies and their associated manufacturing processes.
