In this paper, we present an experimental study on photovoltaic solar energy. The objective is to produce more energy and reduce the price by applying a low concentration of solar radiation. Either on smaller cells; so we reduce the manufacturing cost, or on the same cells; so that the energy output increases. Tests have shown that we can make a concentration up to 5 X; so the cell surface can be reduced 5 times while keeping the same delivered power. To examine the results, we have built a concentrator of 2.5 X concentration ratio and put it in use to commercial photovoltaic panel.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
