The CPV-iTEC hybrid system consists of a Fresnel lens, a photovoltaic cell, and an iTEC with electrolyte flow. It uses the waste heat generated by the PV unit to produce additional power via the ...

The micrometer-scale III-V (alloys made from elements in groups III and V of the periodic table) solar cell is intended for applications in concentrated photovoltaics (CPV). III–V materials are ...

CPV developer Soitec, along with German research body Fraunhofer ISE and France s CEA-Leti, has announced a new conversion efficiency record for a multi-junction PV cell. The cell is based on III ...

Now, it's developed a new micro-CPV setup, which uses optical systems to focus light onto small solar cells made with III-V semiconductor materials, according to CleanTechnica. Fraunhofer ISE's ...
