“…As we see, the silicon cells Si, a and Si, d, have high irradiance for an angle of incidence -2°≤θ, and silicon cells Si, b and Si, c, have high irradiance for an angle of incidence θ≥2. Table 2 presents a comparison of the optical performances of our system compared to results obtained by Yamada et al [1] and Jeong et al [4] systems. We can see that our system has a high optical efficiency and power compared to other studies at pyramid exit and the silicon cell.…”

“…Concentration optics can be based on one optical element or two optical elements. Several authors have used a Fresnel lens with different shapes [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10], others used parabolic mirrors [11] and compound parabolic concentrator [12,13]. Results show that the use of one optical element for CPV systems cannot achieve the overall performances criteria of a CPV system; either the system has a high efficiency while the flux distribution is not homogeneous on the cell, or the opposite.…”

Hybrid Concentrated Photovoltaics (HCPVs) are systems in which additional low-cost silicone solar cells are added to take advantage of the power generated by the diffuse radiation lost when using only multi-junction cells that work only with direct radiation. The work has been tested by simulating the performance of a hybrid CPV system composed of a Fresnel lens associated with a pyramid, multi junction cell as well as additional silicon solar cells. This proposal is compared with an ordinary CPV system and a system based on only silicon solar cells. The simulation results show that the CPV makes it possible to have a high optical efficiency of 94% at the pyramid exit for direct radiation, but this high efficiency rapidly decreases to 0% for diffuse radiation. In this case, the silicon solar cell comes into the scene to converts these diffused or non-concentrated rays into electricity, with an optical efficiency of 85%. It was also found that the Hybrid CPV system was able to increase the power by 21% compared to the CPV system.

“…The high concentration ratio of CPV system cause to increase the temperature of solar cell that makes its efficiency decrease significantly because the photons not converted to electricity are dissipated as heat in the cells which lead to drop the solar cell efficiency [5]. Thus, an essential requirement is cooling system for a successful photovoltaic concentrator that can efficiently remove the heat dissipated from solar cell and keeping it at the desired temperature [6].…”

The present work aims at decrease the cost of the photovoltaic (PV) solar system by decreasing the area of expensive solar cells by low cost optical concentrators that give the same output power. Output power of two types’ monocrystalline and polycrystalline silicon solar cells has been measured with and without presence of linear focus Fresnel lenses (FL) with different concentration ratios. Cooling system has been used to decrease the effect of temperature on solar cell performance. The results indicated that the increase in the output power is about 5.3 times by using Fresnel lens concentrator without using cooling system in comparison with solar cell without concentrator, while it is about 14.6 times by using cooling system. The efficiency of monocrystalline solar cell without cooling system is about 11.2% for solar irradiance 0.698 kW/m2, this value decrease to 3.3% for solar irradiance 12.4 kW/m2 and concentration ratio 17.7 by using Fresnel lens concentrator, while when using cooling system the efficiency enhance to 12.9% and 8.8% for solar irradiance 0.698 and 12.4, respectively.

“…The curved form of Fresnel lens was also researched by Leutz et al, Akisawa et al, and Pham et al The results for this type of shape shown that optical efficiency varies from 64% for 4 m 2 and 72% for 18 m 2 lens in the case of Leutz's research; Akisawa et al, and Pham et al reported higher results (82%). In both studies, the lens cooperates with the solar cell of 2 m 2 in diameter [13][14][15].…”

The methods of production of electricity from renewable sources are currently highly researched topics. The reason for this is growing social awareness regarding the environmental impact of traditional energy technologies. The main aim of this study is to describe the results of using silicon cell technology and dye concentrator in a single system. The experiment presented in the paper was conducted in a laboratory environment using a dye concentrator in the form of tinted and luminescent acrylic glass (polymethyl methacrylate, PMMA). The experiment was conducted using a few measurement calibrations for the described system, such as different temperatures of the researched silicon cell or different intensity of illuminance from a solar simulator. The results of the experiment showed increase in the performance of the solar cell between 0.05% and 1.42% depending on the pigments used in the concentrator. The highest results were achieved for luminescent red PMMA and on average the improvement was 1.21%. This shows us the potential for the implementation of a luminescent dye concentrator in solar electric technology.
