Objective
The recent development of III-V multifunction solar cells with efficiencies over% has stirred a renovated interest in concentration technologies, the only possible shortcut to overcome the high price of this high efficiency novel PV converters, and take advantage of their potential for terrestrial low cost electricity production, to the point of even leapfrogging over other photo voltaic technologies. Low cost, low maintenance, high reliability, sub degree precision sun tracking, jet remains, after more than 30 years of developments for the solar concentration technologies, an unsettled issue. The increasing interest for PV concentration implies an urgent demand for sub degree sun tracking achievements below the 100Euros/m2 of aperture, able to display effective automatic adaptive control strategies which counterbalance the effects of low cost low qualification installation crews, or those of dynamic misalignments due to structural stress, immune to overcast skies, power failures, and inverter interaction when assisted by power output feedback, and all this in an overall rugged design fitted to cope with climatic hostile environments. Moreover the strong growth experienced by the grid connected PV market in the last years due to the emergence of highly subsidized national policies almost everywhere will also claim for building integrated novel sun tracking concepts in order to take advantage of this upcoming progress in high efficiency concentration.
