Objective
The objective of the proposal to achieve the lower PV system cost (2 .5 ./WP for the installed system) than ever before, suitable for electricity mass production evening the short term. The strategy is to combine very high concentration with very high efficiency III-V compound semiconductor. The approach is to develop two parallel solar cell technologies: monolithic multifunction tandem cell and single junction GaAs solar cells (29% and 27%, respectively). Both, single and multi-junction cells will use an improved ultra-flat TIR-R concentrator, characterised by its high optical efficiency, and large acceptance angle with very uniform distribution of the light beam. Opt electronics highly automated standards techniques have been selected as the most appropriate for cell encapsulation and attachment to the necessary heat sink. Finally, pre-industrial prototypes with overall efficiency of 21% will be built in the framework of this proposal.
