Design and Evaluation of a III–V/Si Partial CPV Module for Maximization of Power Generation per Unit Module Area

This paper describes the design and evaluation of a III-V/Si partial concentrator photovoltaic (CPV) module with a stacked structure comprising a highly transparent CPV module and a Si cell, which aims to maximize the power generation from global normal irradiation (GNI) by harvesting not only direct, but diffuse sunlight as well. The module structure was designed by considering the optical and he...
