OSTI ID:5581988
Photovoltaic concentrator technology is experiencing rapid, significant advances in efficiency, cost and reliability which make it a leading candidate to add to the nation's electrical generating capacity in the next decade. This paper reviews the development path being pursued by the Department of Energy program to achieve its near-term energy cost goals and to transfer this technology to the private sector. The paper summarizes the research status of concentrator cells, components, modules and arrays. System reliability is also discussed in the context of a new reliability program.
