Realization and characterization of Micro-concentrator solar Devices
Realization and characterization of Micro-concentrator solar Devices
10 October 2016 13:30 – 15:00 CEST

The use of cost-efficient concentrating optics coupled to the use of high-efficiency cells has proven the potential for the cost reduction for PV. Micro-concentrators could further boost efficiency of thin-film solar cells by giving rise to a possible new route in the solar photovoltaic applications.
The first part of this short course will introduce the application of micro-concentrators to thin-film solar cells. Conventional and novel optoelectronic characterization methods that can be useful for the studies of micro-concentrator thin film solar cells and related materials will be presented (TUT).
The second part will introduce the microcentrator optics and the printed polymeric microlenses as a new route to realize concentrating optics for thin film PV (ENEA)
