Micro optics for micro hybrid concentrator photovoltaics
Concentrating photovoltaics (CPV) systems use concentrating optical elements to significantly reduce the material and processing costs of multi-junction high efficiency solar cells and improve the conversion efficiency. However, several issues hindered the development of CPV technologies due to the …

New Vistas in Solar Concentration with Gradient Index Optics
… the first time, of a nominally stationary solar concentrator with attainable geometric concentration of the order of 10super suns with high collection efficiency. The burden of tracking is transferred inside the stationary module where mm-scale motion of GRIN perfect imaging lenses tracks the …
