Concentrated photovoltaics (CPV)

Concentrated photovoltaics (CPV) is a photovoltaic technology that generates electricity from sunlight. Contrary to conventional photovoltaic systems, it uses lenses and curved mirrors to focus sunlight onto small, but highly efficient, multi-junction (MJ) solar cells. Despite the need for additional concentrating optics, and the usage of more expensive MJ-cells, CPV systems, and especially High concentrating photovoltaic (HCPV) systems, have the potential to become competitive in the near future. They possess the highest efficiency of all existing PV technologies. And a smaller photovoltaic array also reduces the balance of system costs.

Optics for concentrated photovoltaics

Nowadays, we are more aware that most of our energy sources are limited, therefore we have to use our energy resources efficiently. Solar panels are becoming more popular when it comes to managing the energy consumption and reducing the energy footprint of the earth. In the International Year of Light it is important that everyone becomes aware of the problems that we face.
