Linear Fresnel lens photovoltaic concentrator program
Technical Report
·
OSTI ID:5628070
This report describes Acurex Corporation's design of a linear Fresnel lens Photovoltaic Concentrator Panel. The panel consists of four concentrator modules in an integrated structure. Each module is 10 ft long and has a 39.85 in aperture. The solar cell's active width is 0.90 in. and the cell-lens edge spacing is 23.39 in. There are 58 cells per module. A prototype panel was built and tested. Test results showed a peak electrical efficiency of 10.5% at the operating conditions of 800 W/m/sup 2/ insolation and 90/sup 0/F coolant temperature. The prototype exhibits the manufacturing and assembly concepts developed.
