OSTI ID:6763951
During the period March 30 to October 30, 1981 two concentrators and eight module sections from an actively cooled, concentrating photovoltaic array were tested by Sandia National Laboratories to the PRDA 35 specifications. Two different concentrators were used during the test program. Physical, electrical, and thermal characteristics as well as electrical performance data are presented. The effects of temperature cycling and freeze-thaw cycling exposure tests are given. Results presented revealed problems that are being corrected so that the module used to build the array will meet the PRDA 35 qualification goals.
